Poem: Story on Canvas


Story on Canvas

If I set my story onto canvas
Which colors would I choose
To tone down the rages,
To brush out the hurts,
To spatter light into the absences?

Or would I paint it from memory:
Unbalanced, too many colors,
Conflicting angles and
Strokes dragged reluctantly
To fill up space?


The artist,
The critic,
The observer –
None of us would know
Which one was counterfeit.
