Five days!  Woo!  In honor of that, here are a painting and a poem that I've always liked.



Figure Five in Gold Artist: Charles Demuth, originally uploaded by ccsgallery280.

The Great Figure

Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
fire truck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city

~William Carlos Williams

poetry, marriage, art, countdown, five
