Notes About The Poem

On Canvas

the flickered movement of fingers
detailing contours on canvas 
a portrait advancing 
 into night's unhurried strokes-- 
 moist cleavage gathers all tints

untamed by this artist's brush.

Kim Rodrigues January 24, 2025 at 5:15 AM I’ve seen those moments. At same weekend event, one artist with short graceful strokes, the other bold and brash, even as he looked at my cleavage…lol. Hope this made you laugh…true enough.
