She Wanted
to record
only one small
portion, one bird,
one snake, one
unc fly’s view.
Nothing grand
one blade, one stem,
one pistil at a time
as if creation
commenced
in a haze
of exasperated
jerks.
She arrived
three days early
to scope out
the spot
deciding
where to plant
herself, where
to start
the slow erasure
the wearing in.
