Coasting along.

Thinking plenty of time left.

Only to realize

the deadline now looms

and procrastinating must be over.

Or the things you feared

may very well still be coming true.

Dainty.

Delicate.

Cute.

Not like the galumphing elephant

I just let go.

Review the works.

Edit the shame.

Flash on the photos.

Feel the life begin to drain.

Be a supporter.

Find vision in the air.

Get behind the water.

Pain will begin to pair.

So although it was tame.

The body lost we will not share.

Pink sunglasses.

Loud screeching guitars.

Headache induced pain.

Fun for all ages.

Let me just turn off my hearing aid.

Colour

Upon

Colour.

Painting

A fall

World.

Strokes

Pass over

Strokes.

I watch my hands

Create something

I was not expecting.

In the woods

it is a fallen tree.

On the toilet

it has an entirely different meaning.

Scraping the butter

Before you can use it for your toast.

Leaving the pajamas on for extra insulation

While getting dressed for the day.

Wishing there was snow

So you could complain about it.

Realizing that all these concerns

Are petty when you see a homeless person walk by.

Wishing you could crawl back into bed

Not just for the warmth, but shame at your selfishness.

Lost in a daydream.

Working up an appetite.

Crying for forgiveness.

Flush with a promise.

Hope instilled.

Until tomorrow surfaces

and shows a new face to fall on.
