Imagine me over your couch.

Rilke is a poet Rachel introduced me to. The following is a piece (for sale) inspired by the poem. It is also the first piece I am offering at larger sizes (24"x36").

Along The Sun-Drenched Roadside

Along the sun-drenched roadside, from the great
hollow half-treetrunk, which for generations
has been a trough, renewing in itself
an inch or two of rain, I satisfy
my thirst: taking the water's pristine coolness
into my whole body through my wrists.
Drinking would be too powerful, too clear;
but this unhurried gesture of restraint
fills my whole consciousness with shining water.

Thus, if you came, I could be satisfied
to let my hand rest lightly, for a moment,
lightly, upon your shoulder or your breast. 

Rainer Maria Rilke
