Hazy Acres: The Creative Practice of Ryan Boos

As you hold my attention 

Playing the scenarios 

Living in the words

Acts of kindness

Thoughtful gestures 

Slivers in tonality 

Focused deeper on the present

Still feeling dips in energy 

From other directions

Glued into the universe 

At times

Where I want to be 

Then it tumbles down to the bottom 

Climbing up yet again 

Knowing now its how 

This part is done 

Well 

Pushing and pushing 

When its hard to be anything 

But still 

Around the edge of a chance

Hope to build forward

Laying in the tall grass

Protected by the simplicity 

Another day to do good

Or not 

When they arrive the end stretches further 

Shorter steps to long

Not the quick finish

There is no finish 

Rounding the piece again 

With our eyes 

Clockwise

Then counter 

Back and forth

All the way around 

Until we’ve used all the color 

Now we return to the start 

With or without 

Them
