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
