A New Constellation
by Marge Piercy
We go intertwined, him and you
and me, her and him, you and her,
each the center of our own circle
of attraction and compulsion and gravity
what a constellation we make: I call it
the MATRIX. I call it the dancing
family. I call it wheels inside wheels
Ezekial did not know he was seeing
the pattern for enduring relationships
in the twentieth century.
All the rings shine gold as wedding bands
but they are the hoops magicians use
that seem solid and unbroken yet can slip
into chains of other rings and out.
They are strong enough to hang houses on
strong enough to serve as cranes, yet they
are open. We fall through each other,
we catch each other, we cling, we flip on.
No one is the center, but each is her own
center, no one controls the jangling
swing and bounce and merry go round
lurching intertangle of this mobile.
We pass through each other trembling,
and we pass through each other shrieking
and we pass through each other shimmering.
The circle is neither unbroken nor broken
but living, a molecule attracting aoms that
want to be a protein, complex, mortal
able to sustain life, able to reproduce itself inexactly
learn and grow.
I have been an artist for over twenty years and have been regularly selling my work online and in person since 2016. I take pride in the work I create and how it reaches my collectors. My artwork ships unframed, bubble wrapped and flat in cardboard- from a local, family-owned shipping store (USPS, FedEx and UPS options available).
If you are in the Baltimore area and would like to see the work in person before purchasing, please message me to arrange for a studio tour or in-person delivery options.

Deeply inspired by the urban landscape of Baltimore city where I live.
