Borrow My Fingers' Voice

BORROW MY FINGERS’ VOICE . . . . .` ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ . . . . .
could you, Monet...borrow my fingers’ voice as my desire runs through your pastel bones? and in your artist’s blood i mix...by choice the oiled smudge of me in these dusking tones through joys and moans, is there time to rejoice, to sketch love’s hand, though inks plummet as stones? on canvas, a trace of me will remain i am the sky, the elements, the crane
