“A Young Woman”
At the Georgia O’Keeffe museum
There was a picture of the artist
As a young woman, with an impish grin
Mischievous eyes and a wide-open face
Full of possibility, unraveling the times
Walking through the door, painted
Over and over again, considering
All the various ways a woman would venture
Into the world and wind up on the other side
Among deserts and mountains and places of the heart
Most people never travel
