To Paint

by e-san - Cancer


In dimly lit candle-light
Francesca sits with a glass of
vintage port in her hands
as she watches Giancarlo demonstrate
his art in the villa's dining room fresco
(each stroke of his brush 
 matches her breath)

"The work may not be finished in my
 life-time perhapes...
 But it's not something to be
 rushed," he looks up into her eyes
"I prefer the slow meathods...
 inch  by  inch"

Her fingers brush sympathetically
up and down his lapel.

It's an evening to remember

and the dawn 
finds her smiling.
