Honorable Mention Portrait of a Woman Treezaa (T. E. Ballard) Skin the color of light as it falls through a hand. She is there and then she is not. Brush strokes of yellow, white, the blue of an eye. Masters will tell you how this is done, angle to hold a brush, pigments of oil. Students will write papers on raised brow, tilted chin. I’ll listen to theory, educated guess wait till people forget their pens. Rip through a canvas with my teeth, unbutton a dress, slip off skin-- This is a woman, her color is red. when washing under-garments wait till all is clear, use cold instead The first time he entered, came inside my body, though I remembered it was what I wanted, what I begged for. How I enjoyed the touch of his hand. Still, I could not stop myself from thinking, a piece of me, no matter how small was gone and she’ d never return. |
