chagall backdrop

It’s brewing . . .
can you feel it?

Small eddies,
whorls in the mind,
grays on gray

subtlety
conjured
from somewhere
to surface
ripples

plink!
droplets
plink!

torture
incessant
finally
ceases

arrives
manifest

as a smile,
a kiss,

a brave hello,
or a wave goodbye

this
is how

impulse
begets
gesture
