Dear Julia


Nearing November now,

sweet Julia, are you still

biting your nails?


The tea has become

interesting to study--

the charcoal of your face,


dusting cold off the page.

Oh Julia, my mind's

not right, is yours?


Are you up with your birds

too worried for words,

for weather, this time?


Let us drink tea again,

let me draw you while

you draw me now. Smile,


Julia, I want to sketch

those wrinkles around

your tilted eyes.
