Master's Piece
for Poppy's Prompts #5, May 2024
_____________
you draw me
into you
erasing parts
you say
don't work
reworking pieces
you say
don't fit
__
you
paint
the me
you would have me be,
limited pigments
and trailing lines
__
you
envelope me
molding me
from your clay
shaping my thoughts
modeling my ideas
even as my dreams
of something different
erode
___
you convince me to
descend with you
into the landscape of your design
and then
color me crazy
___
you call yourself artist
massaging a portrait
that you alone
imagine picture perfect
__
you let your wild winter wind
rage
never once
wondering if ever
I dared
to see myself differently
___
your palette
isn't all you hold
under your thumb
as day after day
you chisel away my finer bits
__
even now you seek to
edit me into
a master's piece
