Wordsmith

contrary to conformity finding com fort in in divi duality she's the redhead in canada that uses her words carefully and her pen as an anvil knowing which word even before writing it down what shape it will take maybe a razor sharp blade of a haiku katana or simply to wait for the weight of a twist of her wrist and end a poem while brandishing in hand a Scots broad sword but haven't you heard that a sculptor can size a marble stone no matter the size by touch knowing if this is where an arm will be then all falls into place proportionately placing an arm at arm's length and the waist not to waste a single chip of chisel to take away the balance of what figure that is figured out to be even to the tiniest detail so as Michelangelo lay on top of the stone that he knew would become David he runs and rubs his hands over what will be come a young man's ribs and down lower his mind al ready sees what people will talk about for centuries of mankind and manhood
