Blank Canvas





Blank Canvas

Paper
beneath her fingertips
pale, pebbly, pristine

Paintbrush
slick in her vice-grip,
beige, bristly, brand new

This perfect paper
and sturdy paintbrush
were waiting for a professional

Who was SHE
with her imprecision
and indecision?

Who
wasn't 
SHE? 

Like a welcoming pool
in a sweltering summer
she took a breath...

dipped the brush 
and dove
