Hand-Colored Woodcut

Inward
by Ruth Fainlight

Her eyes are staring inward
into a space as endless
as the distance from here to the mountains

she has forgotten. Between
those peaks and this high cave
lies the drowned valley floor where it happened –

whatever gave her the look
of a violated woman
or a bird that clings to a storm-struck mast

and made everything fade –
like being formed from clay and breathed
into life. Or a god’s visitation.
