I stare at paintings
of places never seen
by my
eyes
and recognize
the hills
and rivers of my heart.
#72. For Anna
November 5, 2009
A child’s painting
mature and demanding
innocence calculating to manipulate
emotion, time and space.
We are transported to France
or daycare
at your whim.
How does nine years of life
command color and line and form
so well?
Well enough
strong enough
to do your bidding.
A child’s painting
given precedence made important
by talent and love
and a simple wooden frame.
