Brushed Aside

A Poem

If you could paint your pain, what would the strokes reveal?

Perhaps a broad dull darling the texture of a mourning rain?

Or a massive mess of blues

unworthy of a frame?

A swollen knot of purple

as if the art were bruised?

Or a muddy mess of tears you’ve cried

while being brushed aside?
