Portrait of the Catholic as a Middle-Aged Man

Hain's avatarHowie Hain

DP158522Georges Seurat, “Aman-Jean (Portrait of Edmond Francois Aman-Jean)”, 1882-83, (The Met)


So much is not seen.

What is heard hardly tells the story.

The hairline leaves little to gaze upon.

A good sergeant, he worries little about appearances.

He often feels what he believes is slipping away beneath his feet.

The commands barked from above seem detached from the situation on the ground.

He follows orders anyway.

To many he is somewhat of a joke.

A puppet. A man who can’t think for himself.

Some may even use the word ‘coward’.

But none of this is accurate of course.

No, he is a man of honor.

A noble-man.

He takes his vows and commitments seriously.

He will protect his wife. He will raise his children.

Man of Fruitful Sorrows

Hain's avatarHowie Hain


Burned by the sun

No more features

No longer identified

Swollen, firm, upright

About to explode

A moment more

A single cry

The world is saved

The Inner Room

Hain's avatarHowie Hain


The inner room is built of earthen means.
.
Framed by wooden beams.
.
Criss-crossed they hold the ceiling high.
.
A floor of dirt and stone below.
.
Iron shards hold angles in place.
.
Windows a mixture of air and sand.
.
The walls, they depend on culture, time, and place.
.
The door is always the same.
