Or a palette
Artist's card or canvas
An abstract creation
Of many colours
I opened the door
So slightlyA slit
Upon my simple thoughts
With mellow music
A soft guitar
Singer or a cowboy
Mystic collaborations
Of many othersI pushed the wedge
To edge my mind
Out west
A little firmer
With words
A pencil
A book of papyrus paperInkwell
With mottled blotter
A wish list
Dissertation
Of many schemata
Hinges undone
Door removed
To hang
In its place
A string
Of
Burnished beads
