a patching

ekphrastic for Yvonne Audette’s 1960-61 ‘Black on Grey’

 

and cordoned off

this much crossed

 

daub and dry

 

let nothing take to shape

but all the gesture

of a mind and meet

herein so far

 

come again tomorrow

 

there to point

 

blood

and a scrape of light

 

the palette knife

here where the poster was torn

 

there’s long enough you’ll float

 

the walls around just white
