Carle Hessay: Abstract No. 229 (Igneus)

Igneus

There's a granite wall

on which she likes

to sit and drink her tea,

and inside that wall,

pockets of cooling

magma. Once she was

molten but now

even she has solidified.

Poem by Patricia Young inspired by Abstract No. 229. Published in For Kelly, With Love: Poems on the Abstracts of Carle Hessay (Treeline Press, 2014).
