” Her Namesake “

Her namesake
as collaboration
titanium frames
and featherweight
vintage lace crochet
wraparound bracelets

resuscitating infatuation
for a caring man
sporting magnification glasses
and a surgical mask
offering healing answers for ailments

as grateful patients post poems
going global with love’s devotion
whiskered chin and upper lip
sketch pad and instrument
comparative literature oral tradition...
