watercoloring
it takes much longer than seven days
to create something as beautiful as you
but here I sit on the veranda
trying to figure it all out
there is no rushing perfection
there is only absorbing
taking in what light there is
and channeling into something else
mixing yellows and greens
and all sorts of shades of blue
the white of the moon
the white of a rabbit’s foot
of an eggshell
or a lost soul
certain brushes make better oceans
certain vessels travel magically through time
transmitting snapshots of sunrises
never before seen
and here on the veranda
light slowly crawls to the surface
waves softly slapping my face
july two thousand sixteen
