easel work

i have walked through my moms' t-shirts,

drying in her kitchen entryway

to begin painting flowers on her cabinets

+ cleared off the clutter that was above + below.

(next, i will bring blues into those blooms)

~

walking into each others lives, through all that it is,

is not always easy work, but it is the work of this easel,

+ of my very life.
