A Room of Her Own<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The office was once called The Golfing Room<\/span><\/p>\n

Computer, desk, chair<\/span><\/p>\n

Golf pictures in every corner<\/span><\/p>\n

Titleist banner engulfed one wall <\/span><\/p>\n

Even the light switch <\/span><\/p>\n

adorned with a <\/span><\/p>\n

pewter golfer<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She painted on the kitchen table<\/span><\/p>\n

Toting her paints in one container or another<\/span><\/p>\n

A grocery bag, coffee can, a Hello Kitty lunch box<\/span><\/p>\n

Always a temporary space<\/span><\/p>\n

Never a home for <\/span><\/p>\n

Paints or brushes<\/span><\/p>\n

Or receipts<\/span><\/p>\n

From <\/span><\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Little by little<\/span><\/p>\n

The golf pictures disappeared,<\/span><\/p>\n

Replaced with brushes and paints<\/span><\/p>\n

And canvases <\/span><\/p>\n

Of clouds<\/span><\/p>\n

Faces<\/span><\/p>\n

Dreams<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A sacrifice by one<\/span><\/p>\n

Something as small as a corner room<\/span><\/p>\n

Meant so much to the other<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now she has a room of her own<\/span><\/p>\n

Except <\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span><\/p>\n

That <\/span><\/p>\n
