Nette Onclaud Poet Ottava rima

Borrow My Fingers' Voice

BORROW MY FINGERS’ VOICE
                                                          . . . . .` ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ . . . . .



could you, Monet...borrow my fingers’ voice
as my desire runs through your pastel bones? 
and in your artist’s blood i mix...by choice 
the oiled  smudge of me in these dusking tones 
through joys and moans, is there  time to rejoice,
to sketch love’s hand, though inks plummet as stones? 
on canvas, a trace of me will remain 
i am the sky, the elements, the crane
