Interrupted Anger

“Earth Quilt” drawn and painted with colored pencil and watercolor by Sanford Ross Bender in 1983.

Anger interrupted,

Dissolving dissonance,

Like ephemeral streams,

Quilting prairie terrain,

Meandering,

Through music,

Of my own making.

Poem written by Sanford Ross Bender on January 18, 2022
