Homage
to Baxter
Resonance III
The rock, Prometheus, Brighton Beach
1994
Exactly which is the rock Baxter called "Prometheus"
is difficult to tell, for there are several groups of rocks that
become covered with sand for even years at a time before being exposed
again at the wild hands of an ocean storm, or the bursting flood of water
down the river during heavy rain. This rock however is more resilient than
the others. It sits closer to the water at the entrance to the bay and
is less likely to be buried by sand and more likely to grow barnacles. |

And the rock of barren friendship, has another
shape....
Despair is the only gift;
When it is shared, it becomes a different
thing;
like rock, like
water.....
Tears from faces of stone. |
