What can YOU say in six sentences?
IN THE RITUAL OF ART
( to B. M. )
you hold
between the words
and the cigarette smoke
you sweeten your coffee
with 33 sugar grains
Through you centuries
pass
grooving the lines
of the saints' faces in the carvings
as the light
plays through your fingers

Nobody presents imagery and metaphoric gems like you!

I'm intrigued by the fact that every time I come back and read this it gives me something else to ponder on, another image comes to mind.

Splendid poem. And to think that I normally don't care for poetry. Great depth to this one. Bravo!
