| Four sides of the clay mask I constructed 12/17/12 |
In ancient mythology,
Janus is the god of
beginnings and transitions,
endings and time.
This mask speaks to
the chorus of voices
clamoring for attention
as Climate Change
renders our past
obsolete.
This mask has myriad faces,
reflecting whoever we are
from wherever we’re from:
The bleached skull of a pterodactyl
or a coyote’s cunning glare.
The crest of a shrill blue jay
or a sturgeon’s dead stare.
The enlightened smile of a dolphin
obscured by polluted waters
Or an old high-top sneaker
washed up after the flood.
The mask speaks to us all.
