Artwork by Malgorzata Jasinska
the potato woman raises one eye
against the wrongful night, clutching
each alien root like a child
in her dirty skirts.

tonight's harvest is a mouth
not the white rock nor the mountain
she had in mind, but a bit of color
towards her unborn

her face holds far too much lightning
to even speak of storms.

her ears dream that everything
is soon and that good moonlight
will eclipse the parenthesis
of her memories

she has made her thighs the earth and moves
the fields with cold, broken flesh

her scars, his constellations;
their future.

-

she does not know she could have wrote
her life on sandpaper.

somewhere. (like a hangover with
a memory already born inside it)

when the snow comes she feels ashamed
for a moment.

-

and there in the midnight
between her sorrows and the fields,
something yields,

the ice misses
by a whole translation
and gives her
a son.

About Emily Habermehl: Artist Statement

My main focus in art is color, design and composition. I have a true passion for color as the art subject itself - how colors fit together, how they communicate with each other within the design, how certain colors combined with one another evoke a certain feeling - this is paramount in my work. I am a social worker, artist and poet living in Austin, TX.   Read More...
