POEMS for LENT • DEATH IS a DIALOGUE

-
"Death Is a Dialogue" by Troy's Work Table.

Sidewalk chalk wash, sidewalk chalk, chalk pastels, and charcoal pencil on 12" x 12" concrete board.

---

Death is a Dialogue between
The Spirit and the Dust.
"Dissolve" says Dust—The Spirit "Sir
I have another Trust"—

Death doubts it—Argues from the Ground—
The Spirit turns away
Just laying off for evidence
An Overcoat of Clay.

—#976 (Johnson numbering) by Emily Dickinson

I had to work my secret girlfriend into this project! (I think her poem speaks for itself.)
