dream
Where is my picture?
You've taken it down.
In your gallery of artwork
it would be out of place.
But
it was a gift. . .
Back in my workshop, I
painstakingly
pick out the colours
to buy, the canvas, the oils. I
shut out the world--
the busyness, the things to do--to create
my gift to you.
You can't put it up.
People would laugh.
Like Dorian Gray, the picture has changed.
Someone has taken the arm;
the left socket
is empty, red, dripping.
But. . .
Besides,
you know you're just
an amateur.
