I’ve known a few Cindys,’
and listened to one
on the radio
whose courage
has guided me
these last few months,
simply to show up,
and let the colors drain,
even when the vein
is collapsed, and vibrant reds
seem like disappointing browns.

Words and Images by Richard Reeve
Two thoughts followed reading your words. My taking patient’s blood from veins that proved unwilling. That thought quickly dropped. And then go look at some YouTube uploads of Cyndi Lauper, Kirsty MacColl, Alanis Morrisette, and similar. You’ve set my listening to music to paint to list for the day. Another great synergy of imagery and well thought out linking prose from you. Cheers.
Oh, this: “simply to show up,
and let the colors drain,
even when the vein
is collapsed.” Heart.
