how does it make you feel
maybe there's a painting before me
or not
perhaps I see jagged black lines, like knives
but not
just lines made of paint
that someone put there
white spaces inbetween, so bold
this artist wants us to know
there's space to paint
maybe I'll place my hand
in my favourite colours
stroke my fingers
down the canvas
put marks that are mine on top
just because those black lines define
doesn't mean they will when it's finished
I don't want to spoil a painting
with emotion
rather than considered thought
but I can't even decorate a room around this
I'm not convinced of any vision for it
but I just can't take it down
it reminds me of how flawed I am
is that even a good thing?
