Thin washes of sky, doves,
apostles of beauty.
Arrayed on a simple tabletop
still-life, a treasure hunt:
in natural light, asparagus,
tea, roots,
women.
Hartley and Daniel—
family from hints of gray
tonality, dunes and vegetation.
“...the body is so fine and dear,
almost without end from him.”
Wind-swept workers swing
a series of wax,
a field of snow, uniform
American Nature multihued
and sparking.
In this memory, crowned queen
of paradise, the modern
subject
model
landscape,
braille gold touch saint
looks at nature,
its title
and perspective
monochromatic nature,
nature massive, deliberate
existing and new.

Notes:
This is a work in progress. The above was assembled after ten trips (with intent) to the location. So far, I have used one word of my own: braille. Individual drafts have been and will be taped beneath various public benches in select gallery rooms. When the text reaches a resting state I will make a recording of it and post it here with the proof.

2 for now, but more to come when you distribute your poem and record it as promised.
Beautiful text! Good choice of place.
But yeah, half now and the other half when you finish the job. ;)
Nice!
I like how you've given words to a place full of images; a museum...DEEP!
