"Luka" Pastel and Charcoal on paper River 2020
he paints with sunsets
freezes raindrops on canvases
sculpts clouds into nightmares
takes photographs of your darkest desires
pastes them on your wall
sings a song
of loss and love and fear
all so you trust him
his eyes so alive
pulls your strings
along the road
leading you down
his way
