Poem -
Untitled
Tag in a can, cans
Fumes
Intoxicating like a wedding night
As bright as the feathers of toucans
Rich orange squirt
Yellow bleeding out
Green dripping down
Sharp cobalt lines to hold
Shadows and highlights
Bubble font
Raw wall
Cement jungle
As stark as New York
As thick as our strongest muscle
Layers of story
Wrapped up for the rappers
"Futility was ere"
Marking an empty love
Amid the piss of the alley cats
As shallow as a model's face
As deep as her invisible scars

The language is brilliant. I liked that you left it, Untitled. But perhaps, you could keep going with this and add a title. I could sense something within the spaces of each line, a deeper meaning. Pondering what that could be. I also liked how you mentioned New York, as it's one of the worst hit states of America with the Covid-19 virus. Good work!

Hi Katina , thanks for liking it.
Just to save you the mental anguish of trying to figure out an esoteric meaning here...LOL... There isn't anything intended between the lines for this one. I was just trying to capture in words the impression left upon me by an evocative (insensible but aesthetically likeable) piece of graffiti on a wall. I mentioned NY simply because historically, that was the birthplace of aerosol art as a recognisable art form.
