ARTISTS STATEMENT

But then how
to think of her -
this woman with the
mark of three moons
at her nape, under
the soft twist of her
hair in my palm -
when she wears the
voice of every woman
and none at all?

Will I name her with
my visions? Capture her
with sad Atlantic eyes;
A fairie spiked with
revolution, cupfulls
of ocean and daisies
for a scorched warrior?
Shall I call her
difficult, or draw her
beauty in devotion?

These she has been
in the other lives
she piles into boxes;
faces pieced onto her,
as cool and nostalgic
as a framed mirror.

No, this woman I do
not name. For she is
at last her own to
write across the sky.
