blue ice
mounds of shapes covering the ground
like melting snow over a junk pile .
pointed surfaces sticking up
having an effect of disconnect.
round pieces that attach to the hard surface
not smooth as if on it’s own.
inside other objects
creating a different shape when combined.
polished with blue hues
shining on through with shimmery color.
keeping the look of pools of water
with blue ice on the top.
look inside to see the bottom
barely visible under the layers.
opening the box to make a new
base for the formation of blue ice.
see what happens when the ice melts.

red cans
red cans glued together,
different from their original purpose.
no longer being a container,
now empty and light.
having a new function,
keeping them from the garbage mounds.
taken for recycling,
keeping the look of cans.
now it is a sculpture,
of empty cans glued together.
making an art piece,
rather than more trash.
looking at it is pleasing,
just makes you think.
it is easy to recycle,
if you just think about it.
