SKETCH ◇ LIFE
I want to paint a sky.
What colors should I mix?
Which brush for the distant
storm? What colors
spell sound if I want to
add a dream blowing
in a loud wind?
Which direction
should the dreamer face?
What landscape reflected
in the dreamer's dark pupils?
A man? Or a plainly dressed
maid with one hand reaching
toward her own womanhood?
Should the dreamer smile
or hide that ambiguous face
in a blur of chaos?
Which way is home?
How deep is the shade of
melancholy in those trees
lining on both sides of
sadness? What
colors for good-
byes?
Then, the problem of light
against memory's shadow
and the length of a child-
hood arching over the saturated
wash of unknown longing. . . .
and then, the 10,000 details of love
one has arranged accordingly
between the sky and the dry
brushed forgiving
. . . .
