I stood outside a small intimate Art Studio in Roseville, waiting to meet a friend to share a meal and movie.
A painting in the window, caught my imagination.
I hope these words capture the beauty and mystery of my experience.
rainy day woman
oil paint drizzles
down a canvas
raining over
brushed collaged skin
alabaster
nuanced buff pink
a softly curving body
lies naked across a bed
open
a sacred text
orange cushions
luxuriate around her
chin rests on bent arm
fingers pensively
touch a lower lip
eyes
lowered
hold her mystery
