I was reclaiming old kiln bricks in a field this weekend for an ongoing p=
=3D
roject=3D20
and I was just struck by how unique it was to be doing something so crazy=
=3D
,=3D20
hard, and wonderfull...........
=3D20=3D20=3D20=3D20=3D20
Beautiful is this wall that has nothing to mend
made of fire bricks discarded aside this farmers field
surrounded by mountains of green
and spring in my old home state

Beautiful is this wall though it is not yet built
as I sort and pick the remains of someone elses design
set down in this field of growing propositions

Beautiful is this wall and its colored tone of those exposed
flame marks singed and soot black drawn
gathered and placed in my four wheel brick mover
for their journey to my new home state

Beatiful is this wall a sculpture that unfolds=3D20
as I stack dousing Inca root planning and design of fiery function
Alchemy craft and art

Find it they will not
the non doers, big talkers. easy wayers and
sideways spitters
=3D20
They wont see the hard learners, time giver uppers, lending handers
who helped make these walls beautiful emerge from a farm field
in my old home state

I was reclaiming old kiln bricks in a field this weekend for an ongoing
project and I was just struck by how unique it was to be doing something so
crazy, hard, and wonderfull...........

Beautiful is this wall that has nothing to mend
made of fire bricks discarded aside this farmers field
surrounded by mountains of green
and spring in my old home state

Beautiful is this wall though it is not yet built
as I sort and pick the remains of someone elses design
set down in this field of growing propositions

Beautiful is this wall and its colored tone of those exposed
flame marks singed and soot black drawn
gathered and placed in my four wheel brick mover
for their journey to my new home state

Beatiful is this wall a sculpture that unfolds
as I stack dousing Inca root planning and design of fiery function
Alchemy craft and art

Find it they will not
the non doers, big talkers. easy wayers and
sideways spitters

They wont see the hard learners, time giver uppers, lending handers
who helped make these walls beautiful emerge from a farm field
