Lambskin Met the Chokecherry Today

lambskin met
the chokecherry
today you passed it
on

the reason or was
it the riesling? either
way epicurean to advance
to the next stage you know
it can't be contained any longer
without sharing it has properties
beyond the obvious

speaking of...
the pasture found
a new use those silver
pails just full of chokecherries
tell her they are so painterly

painting silver
in watercolor the
metal sheep shears
have to have a strong
value like porn alchemistry
making metal look realistic is
matching shine and light the tell-tell
sign that it's hard

reflective of hairs
dipped in black paint
then swished in a pool
of water in the center of
the palette

dipping the tip
in blue paint picking
up just a miniscule hint
trim hairs when they stray
I love that little dab of white
but the rule is no white in water colors
even though it's white there

lambskin met
the chokecherry
today in pronounced
polyamory so close to
a book cover with a different
story show her
