Stone-turning

Cover study for The Long Lost Startle (Anvil, 2009) by Pancho Villanueva

Sun in Empty Room

No need for furniture and moving figures
and heartbroken women. For now,
the light is enough to point out the many exits
existing in the shade, pointing to them as if
they have always been there and there

leaning sharply into the corner, found by the after
noon emerging from the floor, more and more
doors opening in the walls so that nothing
is remaining when you get there. And never
mind the window, which is only for entry.

After Edward Hopper
