Preserving my Marbles, photorealistic painting by Daryl Gortner
There is no glass container,
no ultra-clean preservation.
Even if you've only sat on the sill,
my belief about knocks varies day to day.
Let me paint myself ~ my purest self ~
the one never damaged by unintentional hits and scuffs,
the one that, every evening, was put perfectly back in place,
prepared for the next day,
where light shone on me and all that could be beautiful.
When I rest, let me do so peacefully,
and when it's time to test what I have,
let my mind believe in my dexterity.
Let me start now,
for on close inspection,
maybe perception is everything.
