the artist
Render me a world in the most palpable of all colors -
a majestic ambivalence of the darkest blues
and the purest reds which will seem as if to fill
this vacuous sky in august radiance.
And realms shall meet amidst a balance beam line
as an azure sea flows seamlessly to the edge
of a sublime beach unaffected by footprints -
every seraph that traverses it leaves the sand undisturbed.
But if you were to manifest an inclement firmament,
I shall care not; give me an ebon empyrean -
so sable that it be the perfect backdrop -
so that when an orgiastic bolt streaks across,
the light will seem blinding in juxtaposition.
Oh! you could melt me with one slight stroke -
a flick of your omnipotent wrist to redefine this world -
and, a marrionette, I shall become whatever you desire.
But just give me something real.
