Impressionistic Lines



Impressionistic Lines

Running up her colors
she paints a prairie sky.
Snapping, cracking in the wind
her domestic colors fly.

Billowing like a ship's sails;
if she could sail away.
Spread a little canvas
across a perfect day.

Every timber creaking
she pulls in on her line
unfurling every paintbox hue
beneath prairie sunshine.
