Watercolor

Rough Sketched & True

As compelling
To an artist’s eye
As moist dry stone...

Why is water so heavy..?
have you carried a bucket
of water..,?
it's like cast iron,...

Up here the air is fine, but I long for another
not love but life, where the mermaids wonder...

turning, slowly staring
cutting your eyes like diamonds
faceted, beautiful.
...

Resplendent weeping on the trees,
a recompense for dying leaves.
Autumn’s teasing, Winter’s...

Lips moving, screaming "Hey Barbie"
The cold lips of watercolor tattoos
Dripping, saturated...
