My Mother Paints Pretty Pictures
I lke Jazz, but I am no musician.
I see the world in bits and pieces,
"Stacatto", with some high notes thrown in.
Colors are a passion,
But how to mix them to make it real, eludes me.
Purple skies and orange moons resonate.
I like the spaces between things,.
The undiscovered terrains, are the most familar to me.
I'm at home there,
In between.
I admire the measured canvasses my mother paints.
The boundaries are tight and well-kept. .
She has a way of improving on the real,
And makes the rawness go away.
