Aesthetic Strategy
by Gary Hardaway
If you slice despair in samples thin enough
it acquires a fine translucence
and can be framed in multiple views
beautiful as pictures at an exhibition-
a one-man show, elegant as paintings
by a famed reductivist treasured for restraint.
Wry with ironic restraint. *

"a fine translucence" - Yes. A Basho-rain-dripping moment, Gary. Good piece.
Love the two opening lines,the action and the image.
Slices of despair. Love it!
