GRADY HARP Self Portrait


Salome danced before Herod teasing his libido for a more grotesque prize. Veils


we use them to shade the dark onyx of passion into semitransparent light for what we wish to be seen. Lives


in varied forms are veils lifted when elected to allow entry glimpses of transient poses


surprise impress inform seduce or draw this face, paint this eye, this body shaped from clay generation. Critic.


critique, review, essay access, elucidate, opine …dismiss, adjure, aperçu


my veil over words or thoughts or images not mine


My veil is Salome or some other fictive being fearing a transient breeze.
