BEATS
June 20, 2010
BEAT.
STOP.
ARTS.
LIFE.
Hold back your pride:
Canvases hold life.
Keep counsel with your
Paintbrush.
Anger
Molding to a crust
Erupts
And fashions itself a home
Among the white walls of honor.
Hold back your pride.
Let it mellow
Then boil
And tear.
Have it become
A celebration
One day.
Hold back your pride
Eventually,
(You’ll see).
Pierced hearts
Enter in futility
Without a care
On carefully mended
Canvas.
