Prairie Rorschach: Figures in Foam

The old willow beside Wascana Creek, Regina, SK

Under the bridge next to the willow, 
spring scum churns 
to contours, then opens 
through an eddy to float 
free of any shape. 

The current catches and it twists 
again, contracts, expands. 

A face, a figure, flowers, legs. 
A Smurf, a dragon, nude. 

Raw umber, ivory foam.

Consider these a test of perception — what Rorschach might have used instead of ink blots if he'd lived near this creek. What do you see?
