Art Theft
Artist’s gallery on
Spanish Land Grant
‘bought for a song’
her mosaics haphazard
stone, tile, shell,
shards of ancient
pottery, pieced:
forming portraits, landscapes,
fetish frogs.
Others’ matted photographs
lightening arced through
purple sky to
red Laguna mesas.
Petroglyph symbols
copied on pueblo
sandstone, vibrant
primary green, yellow
stolen from
reservation rainbow.

Always appreciate your comments. This is one of the few poems I’ve written lately that feels finished. Thnaks for commenting.
Really, really like this one, Susan. Vivid imagery, lots of color, not over burdened with words or feelings, yet using both of them gently and wisely.
