The Death of The birth of every season marks another’s demise

S

pring is undoubtedly the most anticipated of seasons, heralded by landscapes awash in color and new life. But just as spring must eventually relent to summer, the season’s birth— March 20 this year—is coincident with winter’s passing. New Times celebrated this alliance of birth and death, joy and sorrow by inviting local artists to render their own impression of the changing of seasons. In poems, photographs, sculptures, and paintings, they explored the theme The Death of Winter.

Steve Smith explored winter as a period of hibernation that draws to an end when the birds of spring issue a call to escape interior confines. For Michael McLaughlin that meant painting a word portrait of a mother in the winter of her

life seeking the hope of renewal. For Ric Riva, the death of winter meant Tiger Woods’ downfall. Artists explored death literally, the attendant grief, symbols, and meaning. And they captured the natural beauty of the new season.

In addition to viewing these works in the paper, selected pieces from the Death of Winter series are on display at Linnaea’s Café March 29 through the end of April. An artists’ reception takes place Friday, April 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. during Art After Dark. $

Pointed— That Beam of Light

annual

That beam of light upon your face reveals the blush of summer gone from it.

And now, treatment for a reflective era: Evening.

She creeps over the trees and valleys on multiple legs of brittle iron poles.

An expanding barracks not fluttering but oozing in mile-high wafts and we are pointed toward her hurtling into the East.

Emerging evening; a cold blanket with rusted edges, replacing daylight with a fickle promise of dreams.

Instead, she fills the sleeping gulf with ideas of living acts never committed, never actualized, hardly remembered.

Finally alone, this is the river we speak to— Grey, broad, shallow, leafless, birds leaving it, and bridged.

An expanse best fled from.

A kept secret. A mute response.

And then above sirens spiral around it.

Just beyond the periphery lies your rock island, a glowing carnelian outpost.

The final gateway into spring.

Rooted in Time

annual

Roots twist through dark Crannies and blemished soil; Carry doubts and shadows stronger than concrete of those born before me.

I plant a winter garden filled with seeds and trust on a rocky hillside beneath golden stars. Their memory loses color as I lose my footing, feel trapped by chill and liquid earth.

Just as a child comes to life, these seeds awaken to sounds, dance past the roots of my fears and explode into springtime mulch—birth the lilies and yellow roses, savor morning dew—while I dream with a newborn’s knowing.

Goodbye to winter The cold of winter is passing us by A glimmer of sunlight brightens the sky.

A feeling of warmth will comfort our minds.

We covet the days when the cold is behind The wind and the rain, it will come and then go The flowers will thrive, and with beauty they’ll grow.

Never we’ll fear Old Man Winter’s scorn Knowing again that spring will be born.

So good-bye to winter, the good and the bad And hello to springtime, no time to be sad.

It came and it went, leaving behind A world full of wonder, and beauty sublime.

SPRING ARTS ANNUAL from page 37

Resounding Silence It started like the acoustic softness of a Simon and Garfunkel ballad one 7am Sunday in mid-March, winter’s last gasp before seasonal CPR resuscitated spring.

Downpour of engorged flakes silently settles like sifted flour… a final rest on rooftops, draped over treetops, shrouding the ground.

Then a family, friendly-fire victims too long fox-holed in their own fortresses, arouses from slumber like an interrupted hibernation and wanders through frozen wonderland, huddled in bathrobes while watching snowy chrysalises lacewinging magic over landscape like unleashed butterflies, hearing Nature gently coaxing a love song from numb heartstrings, feeling once frigid frowns stubbornly thawing, smiles beginning to gather in drifts amid giggles and sideglances.

Will this miraculous interlude bring them a temporary moratorium, unilateral withdrawal, or unconditional ceasefire before the last chord resounds in silence?

MARK VELASQUEZ “Emo girl faces another season.”
