Green mother - Diana Collins
|
finding one hundred words about my mother...
(the woman or the painting in the attic?)
I speak of her often
sometimes
rarely
never................................
how often do you see your mother?
never
how often do you think about her?
(the woman or the painting in the attic?)
the woman died nearly 30 years ago
the painting has a place in the attic wrapped in a shell of other paintings
I painted her
the woman
from memory 20 years ago
when I re-imagined her
I imagine her still.
