Bernard Bador: Collages, Paintings, Paintcollas, & Poems




Vigilant







Coup sur Cou







Wu Wei







Feuilles Mortes







Encore La Guerre








Sichuan Scenery












Pegasus Ex-voto









Chichen Itza








Kufi Swirl




Bezelik


Ruins raging, jolted by dunes,

drift toward burning blizzards,

dismantlers of the void

perforated by memories.



Sun crumblings

plastered on the raised rejects of the sad earth—

even loyal shadows abandon them.


Where to scoop up some ghastly deceitful
ghost sand in order to recover
our karmic ferrymen
dissolved in an unspeakable alchemy?






Lotus Sutra






STAINED GLASS FROST ON PIERS OF MOORED LIPS,
their secrets in suspense.

The sun is scuttled into pocket crevices,
locus of the moltings of the void

Strata-encrusted eyes—
solstices weaned of memories
drilled by
fanatics searching for transitory prophecies

A sole cat at
the edge of time
crouches in wait for ruins.






Taoist Evocations






THE SUN STUMBLES AGAINST THE ANCHORED INK.
The page bursts into a fertile mire of continuing eclipses.
Blackness springs back, detoured by tortured shadows.
Eyelids barricade themselves.
Red fury of the unseen
   grave-dredger of memories
