HER DNA (Revision of (NOT) A VILLANELLE (PROPER) FOR V. L. under Weingarten pen

Her DNA

"Painting the perfect painting is one that captivates (and) no matter how far you walk away from it, it won't let you go." – V. L. Cox

They’re in my DNA, she says of the handmade
wedding bands,
gold or silver wrought by the slammed miracle

of a hammer after the glowing
rod reaches intensity for the perfect
strike.

She translates
rings to canvas plane
almost
3-D, reds off the prism of her canvas –
a bloodline pulse hypnotized.

I trust her intuitive
mix of paint

on canvas
like moist on skin.
