Canvas

she painted

this picture

some lady named,

Faye …

not know

not spoke

not wrote

not broke

yet does one

have to

know or speak or write or break

to meet another

on the way

of which

there was

no claim

this brown basket

weaved in brush

carefully constructed

and artfully construed

to stand ever

on its own

with or without

weight

in this sublime state

a decided stroke

was made

to fill the empty space

with wild vines

white with bloom

that, over time, would

ripen red
