Yokei
A Triptych
For Mary-Jane
Interpreting a Painting
White
White
Background–
Upon it
Floats a small red dot
The distant image of her pain
Her Pain
Red
Ache
Enflamed
Her fingers
Raised upward, angry
She curses the grasp of his hand
Grasp
Her
Reach–
Spasm
Of a grip
Her insistent fight,
The welding of her love of life
