reflections on the reflection of a sculpture

reflections on the reflection of a sculpture


is the reflection of a sculpture still the sculpture 

does the shape of a sculpture change with its reflection 

is that change the same as the changing reflection

angles can be hidden angels 

closing one eye and then the other

changes the perspective momentarily 

is the sculpture what it was

or is it what it seems to be 


asking what is permanently 


in this reflection the sculpture comes to life

without reflection the sculpture is a still life

or is it alive and it is we who are dead certain

on our way to a decision that is irrelevant to the sculptor

in whose hands the truth must ultimately abide

i have had this feeling but i cannot tie it down yet

and yet …
