Twelve

(water color on paper)

On the Twelfth part

Of the Twelfth month

In the Twelfth year

Do I feel as a

One or a Two?

Should I stand in a

Dodecagon?

Is this a day to

Enjoy, emote, express?

Depress, dissolve, dismay?

Or shall I paint

Twelve lines

And call it just

Another day.

On 12.12.12 I wondered about the power of numbers, how they move us in so many directions.  On the one hand a construct of human kind and on the other hand the magic of nature’s symmetry.  A little tribute to the last such date in the Gregorian Calendar during my life time.
