J. Herbin - Terre de Feu
I saw a beautiful woman on the bus today
With tights the colour of this ink [terre de feu]
They were unique.
The tights.
I wanted to say something.
How do you tell a stranger they are wearing tights the same colour of a favourite ink?
I said nothing.
The bus stopped and passengers were required to leave.
Off to go about our days
One with a pen
and one with tights the colour of ink.

Author's Note
I wrote this with a fountain pen using J. Herbin’s Terre de Feu ink. Not an advertisement for the ink, I enjoy it. I included the colour in case you wanted to know the colour of the tights.

Dear B,
Thank you. Part of the reason I am writing is to capture these little moments.

I am a huge fan of Jaques Herbin inks. I have a few in my collection. The ink color/title is what drew me here in the first place! I like this little snapshot of a life. it's the kind of poetry i like to read. well done!
