police man on a white horse in the fields 1959 gerard sekoto does not arrive gently he enters with a hand seeking hard truth here the horse white dragged across the surface like light pulled through dust weight in every broken stroke and the man held upright but not still authority trembles in the lines a uniform that cannot quite settle into certainty sekoto remembers while he paints south africa rides with him not so much as place but as pressure inside the wrist the field fractures into color and push nothing passive here even the sky leans horse and rider not posed but passing through as if the moment could not be trusted to stay so he breaks it into motion keeps it alive never letting it rest the artist works against the staid against the still nothing allowed to sit quietly the horse is white but carries weather and labor and time paint laid thick then pulled apart like memory resisting form the rider a dark presence not outlined but insisted power suggested then unsettled in the same breath the artist knows how images lie so he refuses completion the field dissolves into movement color unsettled direction uncertain everything shifts just enough so nothing becomes fixed nothing becomes owned horse moves forward man moves with it but the painting moves faster beyond them into something that cannot be held only felt and even that only for a moment everything leans slightly forward as if escape is already happening original dde art homage to sekoto by rob kistner 4 21 26 gerard sekoto 12 9 13 3 20 93 was a south african artist and musician a

unbridled wind finding its direction and those legs long taut beautiful unapologetically alive they write distance in sweeping lines each stride a signature bold and unbroken agility radiates inside her turns small corrections invisible perfect she bends but never breaks shifts but never loses the thread of momentum there is passion here not loud but burning deep constant an inferno of desire unquenchable not for the finish but for motion itself for the feeling of everything perfectly aligned and it radiates a fierce joy a full out yes to the body to the moment to the run she does not hold

immediately disappointed the myth cracks travel as escape fails no distance great enough warning movement is not removal it is translation you remain legible everywhere but there especially there a moment unplanned unsold no map no narrative you forgot to be the one who left flash no name no history just breath entering leaving and for that sliver that fleeting moment the journey begins to end

categories poetry 22 comments on the crow love calm deep original dde art calm and deep by rob kistner 4 15 26 love does not arrive with a force it settles like quiet weather inside your being a soft realization that this matters a comfort without a reason an attraction without logic you notice it in the way a hand pauses before letting go of another in the space held for someone s story that has no ending yet love listens longer than logic presumes longer than comfort allows love forgets itself in the act of remembering another it moves without announcement through ordinary hours love does not insist on being seen it works in the margins of attention a slight turning toward another when the room grows loud it is patience without a clock ordinary people reaching for the extraordinary the willingness to sit beside what cannot be solved love is the warmth left in a chair after someone rises a trace that says you were not alone it carries what is fragile without naming it burden it is not inflexible not brittle it does not shatter it softens spreading quietly round an impact round a bruise to bring comfort a consoling word and healing love has no center it gathers in small crossings of breath and presence in the pause before speaking when listening matters more it is a door left unlatched a light not turned off it remembers the shape of another without holding it still unchanging love is calm love is deep love is kind love moves like water finding the lowest places first spreading to make the rough the uneven smooth and settled and when it recedes it is never fully gone it does not just vanish it lingers in the way we reach ever for gentleness a knowing of the heart and if it leaves as all things are ought it leaves behind a reflection a memory a resonance a quiet tender intelligence that continues to breath even in absence rob kistner 04 15 26 poetry at napowrimo posted on april 15 2026 april 16 2026 categories poetry leave a comment on love calm deep ghost of love original dde art gone but unforgettable by rob kistner 4 14 26 where does love go when it goes after the last word has been spoken but still echoes through the bones of the house echoes in your heart when the room goes quiet and in the chair across from you sits a ghost her ghost does she lean seductively vaporous across the table hands on the grain of the table to linger languidly in the worn places where her tender hands once lovingly rested or does she rise invisible but certain like a crisp breath on a cold morning briefly seen then gone have you felt her in the pause between heartbeats in the way a name a deep thought or complex question still arrives unbidden in the corner of your eye only to turn and she is not there perhaps love does not go perhaps it only loosens from form from voice from touch to become a presence unsolid but undeniable waiting in the unseen for us to feel it again rob kistner 4 14 26 poetry at dverse posted on april 14 2026 april 14

still as a held breath and he listens for the sounds that once followed him everywhere a whisper of the mind now recalling his childhood he kneels quietly fingers grazing the water and the years ripple outward a porch light a father s laugh the slow drift of summer insects he had buried these memories or thought he had beneath schedules deadlines and chaotic windowless rooms but his return to this near forgotten lake brings a different refreshed perspective he sees now that the forgetting was only the distance of time the whisper rises again not calling not warning simply being he muses alive with the awareness he has found something lost the old house is gone but the path waits patient as dusk ready to lead him deeper into sweet memories rob kistner 4 13 26 poetry at napowrimo 26

the last of the day around the quieting lake boats tick softly against their moorings lake light loosening toward night dad and i sit cleaning our gear without hurry allowing that day s successful catch to settle into our weary frames rustling north woods birch ring tight the lake pale and still excited by the breeze their reflections broken by gentle ripple winds on the water above them the sky opens sudden currents of color begin to wash overhead emerald neon jade phosphor green rose crimson arctic blue violet silver the sky is afire even aware it s up there the vaporous bloom of the aurora borealis always catches us off guard each time a glorious surprise turning from the gaze skyward we begin reflecting on tonight s return to our cabin the narrow channel from our neighboring lake water too shallow for speed the depth demanding attention ice age boulders submerged logs hidden bottom stumps have shut down many a fishing trip sadly premature shearing a prop mercilessly great care and a damned sharp eye in tangent with a free oar are the tasks of the crossing respect the portage both ways dad would explain and it will grant you passage this day we made it we anchored we drifted we trolled we fished but not the big ong the boat breathed peacefully safely carrying us dawn to dusk but soon night would arrive precisely on time so we d head for home dock and our beloved porch as we gratefully approached dusk was settling peacefully on our snug cabin moored boats would soon be rocking bumping impatient the lake hushes itself around them we d wipe down rods as we loosened and stored reels listening to the eerie calls of the canadian lake loons hands still warm with the day s work hearts still warm with the joy white birch lined the far shore standing quietly listening and above them the giant star filled sky continues its slow colorful drift the magical aurora lifting again like a brisk breath through needles and leaves talk about tomorrow would begin in hushed excitement and wonder we d reflect once again on the narrow way through on the shallow water that won t forgive haste on the careful portage ahead not as worry just remembering knowing the night agrees to hold us boats and plans bobbing in the northern lights canada settling in while the cabin warms and sooths us and waits a patient wait quietly earned like these wonderful memories of those days of that magic of that place of all of it of my precious dad to talk with him just one more time but there is no portage by which to reach him yet rob kistner 12 25 25 poetry at napowrimo 26
