Copper’s Big Bend

Copper takes her easel
out of the back of a red Miata
sets it up and waits for the light

She runs her brush
back and forth across her palm
and strikes when the moment's right

Her take from the land no more theft
than a drink from the Rio Grande
who loves to have your lips upon it

Artist Copper Love, from Kerrville, one of the areas affected by the devastating July 4th floods.
