Still Life Poem by Barry Middleton

Still Life



not much is moving in his art
that's what a still life does

a curious museum piece
a bee without a buzz

that isn't all that troubles me
about this bowl of fruit

there is no rumble in the sky
and poetry is mute

was it a picnic he had planned
perhaps in hopeful youth

to speak of stillness I suppose
like destiny and truth
