Yellow & Blue: 1982_ColorPencil_Drawing3 by Carol Hershey

8/30/01 Poem by Betina Hershey Russo

There is no one shade
Of yellow, no one blue, not even
One section devoid
Of texture, variance, a bit of
Personality.
Observe the opacity, the wear and tear,
The wrinkles and creases as if
Fossilized. As if
Chipped out of a mountain:
So much peace! Earth
And changing sky
Frozen into one slate
Of paper and pencil.
