the art of lines

the smoothness
of a pen
a-glide
across the paper

writing parallel
to blue
ruled lines

as easy
as lightly tracing
skin
with just the
tip
of a pointer finger

making the mark
that can be
only mine

mine is the hand
the guide
the direction finder
that lets the art of a line
run free

into a caress
that moves to form itself
into a word
gliding
across my paper
