The Ekphrastic Review poem

"Way of Seeing"
(after John Berger, d. Jan. 2, 2017)

A different sort of light

We are, it seems, all under some guy

Way up there in the vast sky.

It's a man's world from above,

It's true, one we can't afford not to love.

But what motions from below

Is what I root for, just so you know.

It's a thrill to be on site

Of a different sort of light.

But whose dream, then, are we in,

You'd ask: happy ending, or ruin?

Faithful to prophets of Uncle-Sam-I-Am,

Iriff on the endurance of time.
