***
One stroke-
A sure stride of melody
Emerges from the hotchpotch of sounds,
The painting is painting itself,
The painting re-reads the letters
You have sent and you’ve received,
The painting does melt
The hearts of stones
From the North Sea,
The painting is freer and often faster
Than your hand,
The painting is an unsure
Forward momentum.
Painting ‘Madrigale di Carlo’, Sara Maino 2022
