after painfully separating
the colors in intricate patterns
she allows herself the full glimpse
of her daily labors. and without
hesitation brushes the dry earth,
along with her work.
her long fingers unfurling,
the long and brittle parts
breaking into sand.

she allows herself the full glimpse

along with her work.
her long fingers unfurling,
the long and brittle parts
