Tell me where the artist lives.
The street, the door.
Hurry, lest the artist go.
Not a second must be wasted.
The finite strand of time
granted to her is fragile.
I want to know her.
Listen and admire
where she’s been.
What countries she has discovered
and come away
enriched by her treasure,
her ineffable vision of truth
and its, sometimes,
beauty.
The book The House of the World has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is now available on Amazon.
