the way through



after a painting
of the same name
by Jane Smith

in a house
of locked doors
she dips her brush
in green-gold light—
a forest beckons

I enter
through brushstrokes
like briars
the deepening canvas
of the heart

following
the echo of birdsong
inside us
we make our own way
through a pathless wood
