Charcoal

Charcoal

In this painting, a borrowed inch of choice:

Her charcoal dress, her silvered hair,

hands held aloft, forever poised on a threshold,

spinning fleece into threads of things not yet become.

Baskets of liminal potential lie rolled at her feet, waiting for her crafter's hands

to weave the borrowed inches, one by one, into the Great Story

still unfolding against the cosmic tapestry.
