“Celestial Diffraction through Gelatin”: On Daniel George’s Jell-O Belt Exhibit

Liquid Crystal Display of neon Jell-O molds
Rotating underlit, perpetual planetary oscillation,
Celestial diffraction through gelatin.

A glutinous colloidal protein, an edible jelly.
“For now we see through a glass, darkly;
But then face to face.”

Sliced banana in lemon—a planet aflame.
Fruited berry blue: sonogram, in embryo.
Shredded carrot in lime a koi pond of marrow.

Passions of funeral potatoes, nine by thirteen.
Green bean casserole wing of doctrine.
Cold Hawaiian haystacks part a red sea.

A triptych of cookbooks on wedding/funeral lace tablecloths:
Sugar ‘n Spice, Tastefully Yours, A Spoonful of Bricks.
Twelve ladled disciples suspend in martyrdom eternal.
