829 (scarecrow HEY scarecrow)

"Landscape for Egon Schiele"

(although he may never see it)

the scarecrow is

to the best of my understanding

not a muse

the scarecrow

   is part of a mythology

constantly being formed and changed

by me

   allows me

to have an ongoing conversation 

with myself without question

   is an underlying catalyst

that fits quite nicely

with these images of sticks

   could be more 

like an alter ego

if taken seriously enough

the scarecrow appeared

after picking up a twig

that suggested a hand

and thinking 

this hand

could only have come 

from a scarecrow
