a young man entombed in a wooden frame,
Father tending his acre farm,
a woman and her dog watching a
man paint from a distance,
four brunettes wearing sweaters and jackets
in a chilly house, eating chocolate and pistachio
nuts, drinking tea, talking about the
girl finding the young man under the
eaves, the wife feeling as if she has
swallowed paint, a daughter
enjoying her pruning shears,
the clock ticks in the quiet room
three poets and a teacher rise
to attend the real world of children,
shopping and schedules to keep,
leaving behind small black dots
on white paper on the kitchen table.
