One flick and
color splatters
And another flick
Droplets fly
You grab colors
and brushes
Hand writhing in
Anger
Arguments and
insults flung
away from the body
Exorcise demons
Unrepentant guilt
Unrequited love
Red blood, anger,
passion, fear
Don’t let them see
Throw the blankets
over, Pretend it’s
ok. Ok?
Bright, bubbling
false facades
Standing in the
whirlwind. Ok?
Everything’s everywhere
Messes are for making
Pristine canvas
turned battleground
You’ve done it
again, no surprise
Life imitates
art imitates
Life, and
You know how
to ruin the
both of them
