I've been painting this one for too long
It is no longer a spontaneous burst of vision
but something overworked and dog-tired
An attention to detail that should not have wasted
away in thick, creeping globules of sticky red
that slide and bubble over white wax
that doesn't want to be hidden
The missing piece drooling from petals
that have no delicacy... not whimsical
just solid and heavy
and endessly resistant to the mould
that is you and I
Divine unrest and shuffling feet
blend this palette of bright colours
to white... like light
Always white.
