Vallum's Poem of the Week
Photo of the Sculptor as a Young Boy At eighteen months the boy has the clarity of a tuning fork; an interior self set to a faint vibration, caused, no doubt, by the slide of rubber on skin as he catches the ball he’s been handed and instructed to hold. His vivid grip-- the way his piano fingers span the circumference-- compels the viewer not to his sweet face but to the instrument of his body, hands in particular, made for holding the tension in the mapping of surfaces: see his thumb worry that fleck of loose paint. The burn of his life’s work ahead of him. |
