I’d seen her work
sketches pastels
notebooks with odd jottings
in corner leaves
tho’ after she moved in
I never saw her with
a brush pencil crayon in hands
& being that way
I asked her the why?
tho’ now being older wiser
I’d be asking
what’s that about?
she said she felt people
pressured her to produce
so instead preferred not to
in her pronounced
pleased perversity
after a year I asked her
if she’d be inclined
do me a drawing on the wall
as I liked her work
to be told I was just like the others
so I demurred for a while
& now I wonder
who she’s not painting for these days
