Artificial Rock

 

 

'Artificial Rock #86'

glimming as if from rain

bumped measled and holed

like Swiss cheese

Auspices materialized

in stainless steel

exaggerated to art

it still could be

real but fantastic

show of Banyan tree

it may be mimicking

See-through on

a digital future

more holes than expected

for it rather resembles

wood and roots

than stone and rock

On which ambiguity

its aesthetics are hinging.
