Observe.

A series of planes

describing a meridional rotation

around one axle

a sunset

somehow visible across

the moving planes

maybe the surface

meets the eye, tenderly focusing

on the horizon

oil layer upon layer; there is

a pastel texture

calling on

the gentle touch

color shifts with light

The painting.

I shall be “to the point”

In this I shall be “to the point”:

outside is cold, foggy and it's dark.

Dogs are howling their way to ...

But that's not what I had in mind!

At 1st thought?

I used to love painting,

not because of what, who or

but just for the sake of

I think I got addicted

to the smell of paints

long ago

before I even noticed it

and the vertigo

that pulled me to

the white canvas

was so intense

I did not mind

the sacrifice.
