Intimate Portrayal

To sketch or to paint or to somehow relate

a visual rendering of one via lead, pastels, 

or oil is to absorb a multitude of minute details—

the tiny scar under the right eye formed after 

a childhood spat between siblings

or that slight gap between two front teeth 

never before noticed in everyday conversations…

To memorize then to reproduce those details 

is to learn then to know, intimately.

Yes, it would be insane to capture every leaf 

on a tree or every twig or every branch

but its trunk to its protruding roots

draws a sounder picture of its existence.

And it would be insane to draw every strand

of hair on one’s head as it would be maddening

to get to know you any more than I already do.

Check him out.
