the motion of the paintbrush on the paper
the way the colors flowed on the paper
white-capped mountains in the distance

walking up the trail
the colors like jewels in my white paint tray
while the painters sketched the landscape
in these times of remembered narrative

dense, splendid prose
the text crafted and recrafted with writing
in her own meter and language
continuing the retelling of known story
"when to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past"
