Analysis of Color
Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)
Indigo blues
cut out shapes
dance behind mattise like waves
In the light of chagals stained glass
mosaics of light and shade
Reflect impressions of meadows
behind pale blue skies
greening lemons
on glazed white plate
set behind traced drapes
moving in the wind
fade into morning light
dawning red
blazing within its moving flames
rising in its falling within the golden saffron
of crimson dreams
purple haze
on early dawn
through faceless contours of time and age
wisps of fog drift pass us by
in the harvest of aging days
