Poems from The Painter
Picture this:
You grow up, get married.
The two of you buy a house, nothing fancy
Just a quiet little fix-me-up in a safe neighborhood....
Tomatoes remind me of Grandpa
I ate my first tomato when I was five.
...I thought it was an apple
Imagine my surprise as I looked up at...
From now on, for every wall I build up around me
I'll paint it a different color
I'll associate each color with a person
And I'll remember...
To those of us who carry our pain
because "just forgetting" isn't possible:
Pick one heartbreaking memory
Something you've suppressed for...
Life is a tricky game to play
Coasting through, not a care in the world
Like kids in a game of hide-and-seek
Making each move, not knowing...
