Pinocchio
Linda Hindman

He is
Not long a blueprint of a boy
But soon sepia drawn
Palms out in a circle
Da Vinci’s details
Pencil to pastels to paint
He becomes
Our blue eyes
Blended bluer than photo real
His straight hair cut
So that it falls like golden wheat
From his face
When he looks up at me
And laughs from your best smile.
