Winner: Weekly Poems Contest #39
by Anna Nike Leskowsky
Canvas nests in easel, stretches in silence. It knows all the details long before they come to light. My hand and mind freeze. Paints dry out, brushes tumble to the floor, irritated. Time walks away, disappointed. The image slides down through my veins into my heart to nest, like canvas, until they meet at the right moment.
