The easel is bowed
And canvas is stretched
All arced and ready
Weighted down with stones
Pitchers pile up
Their lids intermixed
A rainbow of fog
Stain of my cup
Brushes fill the tin
With rags from my clothes
Wait to be worn
Thinner than thin
My hand is high
To touch again
The blankness of love
The dreams where I've been

No hesitation
Without the function
To respond back to her
All circumvention
Re-navigation
Has brought me back to where
I am but helpless to stare

A palette of paint
A swath I have liked
To put upon
Colour a saint
Naked and dry
Solemnly slow strike
Into my heart
Right into my eye
A mind of fragment shards
Bones blanched heaped up just like
The tools of my trade
Leap to me and save

No hesitation
Without the question
To lose myself in her
All misdirection
Re-navigation
Has brought me back to where
I am but helpless to stare

I drank from the sea
To escape my plight
Filled with the blue
Truer than me
Saw of one thing
Make up the rest
A tear composed well
Without its cast ring
I made a picture frame
Built up the memory
An image I had
The image I had

No hesitation
Without the function
To respond back to her
All misdirection
Re-navigation
Has brought me back to where
I can create what was there
