Watercolors

Painting is messy when you let someone else hold the brush

Watercolors

He paints pigment in between the cracks

Where the spaces of your life leave room

And open wounds.

The paint fills the shallow divots with an intense red,

With your favorite color blue.

The small, but deep spaces fill with color and the colors blend,

Making purples,

Making new combinations in the palette

That tells your color story.

At some point the cracks start to leak,

The beautiful purples ooze out

Back through.

All that’s left are open wounds and insides coated with

A residual intense red and patches of your favorite blue.

Now you have to start over,

To fill the cracks with your own

Color combination to create something whole

And beautiful

Again.
