Impressionistic Meltdown

 


-->
finals taken, beers a dranken
walls shakin in white silence

tapestries find new holes to cover
unicorns fall over—betas left behind

the green Buddha—the hallowed elephant
stacks of flippant wisdom and snarky humor

an abundance words and a lack thereof
watching from above—the brushstrokes of change

smokerings always lose that perfect shape
dried roses drape what could have been

what never was—follow flickers of sunlight
and sit with this strife—the angst of bare walls

where laughter once echoed—hookah bubbled
what savory trials and troubles—solidify like rain into snow

knitted blankets always find new legs to warm
out of ease, heaviness is born

sometimes the sweetest tea burns your lips
an imprint of squeezed hips—the best bruises

swift to mend, the functions of time
a stagnated enzyme—from oxblood to salmon

everything fades—boxes packed and unpacked
purpose without tact—we’ll find new spaces to fill

on the blank canvas—splat pure acrylic
Authenticity is the only verdict
