... What You See, Not What You Know

Miriam Minkowitz

I paint surfaces
I paint eyes with words
I paint your movements
in the morning
your stiff arthritic leg
as you get out of bed
I paint your cold lips
brushing mine
fortified by habit
I paint your refusals
I paint your hesitation
like a hiccup ---
