She
(Woolmark, a collaboration with Walter Ma)
Wrap myself in wool comfort
Trap the grass-green years
Strips of light come seeping through
Lit my chandelier

[Paper Talk], III
Kenojuak Ashevak
She wore a garment
showing Inuit dreams
her dark hair braided
snaking round her shoulder skin
a missing front tooth smile
A twenty-four-hour sun
loving, warm and caring
everything they call art
her dreams, and daily rendering
A woman so beautiful
shone bright at eighty six
silver threads hanging
eyesight dwindling
she clung close to the paper
her once strong hands
gently scribbled something
pencil tipping
her red fox's name
