Laura Paulini, Heaven, 2008, 16 x 16 in., egg tempera on panel. Collection of Bruce Cree, San Francisco, California.
Thoughtless as shadow
The ground of shadow
One wouldn’t would
One want
All one wants
And then what
The light across the lake
And the eye creates space
The distance
Which is not
One
Not only
That but
All one
Wants
