Look how smooth
See the colors
Close your eyes
Feel the touch
the warmth.
They are arrayed
Like Doctor’s instruments.
Gouges, Vs, grooves
Flats, bevels
Narrow and wide.
The gouge defines the shape.
The first gouge
almost painful.
The flats clear the background.
The rest enhance the curves
the details
the depth.
The lines are simple.
The hands cramp
but the work draws us.
We cannot pull away.
He will never see it.
No one will know
the blood and tear stains
covered by the
color.
I will miss him.
My friend, my brother
but not my sibling.
Goodbye.
