So stare
Every line in the painting was necessary, in the novel, in your conversation. The world shifts if it is missing, if only a bit. So stare. For 10 minutes, 20. If you can, something will happen.

Hiding away artistically
Conversation requires of us giving of our time and effort and attention, generous amounts without measuring. Think of the artist detailing a thousand and two tiny open circles. Leave the watch in the drawer, and the phone. Hide away where you two cannot be found. Even hide from yourselves. Then apply to this conversation the artistic way of grasping out with the eyes and ears for the whole of the world.

Beware the poet
Beware the poet
What lurks within?
Plaiting her hair
As it grows out of her breath
And now her fingertips
