Word

 I thought the modern word sat uncomfortable

Among the older established form

Though precisely right in the context of the story


But not the word of a painter, or a lover, or one

Whose sadness waits uniquely upon the shoulder


In this minimalist gallery, where all we see is light

I think of that word postscript, which here and now

Does hold some familiar beauty


Was it just that I had to say something

Or did the place faintly name the feeling
