Her Art
In a once great hall
On an oak chair
Blackened through age
Stained by greasy fingers
Of a thousand sitters
Time smeared engravings
Blurred beyond recognition
She sits
White rag dress
Grimed black and grey
Dexter holding inverted raven
Feet firmly grasped
Wings feebly fluttering
Sinister holds a broken dove
Bones crushed by still clenched fist
Life force seeping from her to bird
As ravens strength increases
Her art strong but not enough
To redress the balance
Dealing in symbols greater than her
But had to try
On an oak chair
Blackened through age
Stained by greasy fingers
Of a thousand sitters
Time smeared engravings
Blurred beyond recognition
She sits
White rag dress
Grimed black and grey
Dexter holding inverted raven
Feet firmly grasped
Wings feebly fluttering
Sinister holds a broken dove
Bones crushed by still clenched fist
Life force seeping from her to bird
As ravens strength increases
Her art strong but not enough
To redress the balance
Dealing in symbols greater than her
But had to try
