The work nobody counted is standing in the field
From across the room it is mostly field. Closer in, the slope has weather in it: pale heads bent one way, a track worn brown up the middle, a fence line thinning out near the top. One sheaf stands bound and a little apart, holding more light than anything else on the hill.
Nothing in it is hurrying. It hangs there through the weeks when you are behind on everything, and it never adds itself to the list. You look up, the field is still ready, and the room settles.
One friend says it is a field ready and nobody there yet. Someone else only ever sees the one sheaf, bound and set apart from the rest. Somebody at the table says it is the path, the one a person walked up this slope every day for months. Nobody agrees, the picture holds all of it, and the corner of the house you keep for reading looks like a corner somebody thought about.
The path is worn and nobody has come up it yet
The light comes over the slope before anyone does. It finds the top of the field first, then the one sheaf standing apart from the rest, and it stays there longer than anywhere else. The path is worn. Someone walked it every day for a long season, and this morning the field is ready and the path is empty, and I keep waiting for the moment a figure comes up over the rise.
What I hope is this: that whoever hangs it looks up from her desk in the middle of something long and slow, and sees that the field filled while nobody was counting. That the waiting part is not the empty part.
Nine people and one thing to give
The last week of a term, a group chat, and somebody typing that she truly does not want stuff, she has everything she needs and no space for more. She has a shelf of mugs to prove it. So one framed piece instead of a basket, chosen because she would have chosen it herself, and a card that says what the year in that living room was.
The other woman who buys this buys it in January, for herself, before anyone comes back. It is as much a support group as a study, that room, and most of the work in it has been hers. The print goes up while the new books are still in the bag.
It hangs above the desk, to the right of the bookcase, 45x60 cm framed, or as one wall with two smaller figure pieces beside it.
