Notes About The Poem

Julie

Julie

I exist

I exist
Only in my sadness
I exist
Only in my nightmares
I exist
Only in a painting

She paints the faces
Of those who have no face
She paints the dreams
Of those who held no hope
She paints
As I die inside my poems

Ink and paint both dry
We are small dots
On the map of gods canvass
No tear shall change
All the dancing graves
6
