a give and take

a give and take
a hand, a mind
and a heart

white paper and line
stroked
ink-black

tentative, light
bold, broken-line
cross-hatched

diagonal
irregular
deliberate

negative space
an impression
a glance

an unfinished thought
finished
seemingly plain

an idea
a fleeting emotion
evident

a place, a time
a beat then skipped
a love and a dream, caught

an expression
engraved, wood cut
preserved whole

frozen
intact
still







a give and take
