Goldfinch (poem and painting) 

(Painting by N. M. Rai)





Goldfinch


A Goldfinch

flies fast

into my glancing world.









In truth, I cannot tell

if it is a bee

a shower of sparks

from the slanting sun

or a wing

lifting a flap of sky.






A bright and nameless

bolt of gold

emerges from an instant

dressed as a small bird.






A textbook perfect

painting of the wind.

Eric Ashford and N. M. Rai are both quite gifted, he as a poet and she as both poet and painter/photographer. They are creating a rare collaboration in which Naga Moon presents her paintings and Eric supplies the verse. Some of these presentations even include Eric reading his poems in his distinguished English accent. These are true multi-media presentations, combining visual and spoken art to a most effective end.
