Art Critic

Out of the darkness 
arises color burst

Van Gogh starry night sky style

The blues disappear in light burst
on my night sky

Resurrect your kind heart  
from the pettiness of discontent

Your lack of talent at an old age
cripples your dry shriveled bean of a heart.

Lub-dub! Lub-dub! Lub-dub!? How many ticks
before the end?
