Poem #43

Whoa. I got behind yet again. Where the heck did November go? I've been scribbling thoughts in my notebook, some of which will become poems on this-here blog and other thoughts which will assemble themselves into a story of some sort.

Orange-yellow paint offends
so she sits with a paintbrush to fix
and the child behind her
paints as well
reminding her
that they are artists
but she is far
far away
painting over the yellow-orange
and painting over
a part of herself
As she sits
and stares at the wall,
Lady paints the blues
paints the walls blue
paints the blues away
