she sits patiently
the tip
of her pink tongue showing
between
red lips
with a hint
of pearly white

a smudge
adorns her cheek
charcoal
on her finger tips
as she carefully
sketches out
an idea

in the face
on the sheet
the whorls
of her fingerprints
sculpt
the details inherent
in the imagined

she is an artist
herself
a work of art
if she knew the affect
she effects
her smile
could change the world
