Cody’s Rainbow, 24″w x 18″h, painted for a fundraiser for cystic fibrosis Sold
I never knew her.
I heard she crossed the rainbow,
danced her best
but then her body
surrendered to disease.
I never knew her,
but I painted a rainbow,
a fish flashing colors
in shimmering light,
swiftly gone in the river,
like Cody.
