Just a stamp of a woman
blotched and bleeding red ink
hot-pressed onto abstract landscapes
just straight lines with spaces in between
does not move or speak
just a mark,
transparent over black
solid angles of moving matter
just a maker of ink
pressed and molded so neatly
bringing into focus
the illusion behind her
