Airbrushing ripples


I rip open my chest
~ old oak, antique-like ~
delayering pain in my chest
separating snapshots
held by film rolls ~
negatives
of photos devoured by shredders ~
when good times went bad

I linger about a new canvas
blank, virgin white
no colours
no sketches
no shapes
nothing comes out
there is nothing my heart can pour

I keep myself busy
airbrushing ripples
plastering the cracks
painstakingly
one crack
at a time

Keep up the airbrushing those er nipples, or rather those ripples, there will come a time when you can fill in the rest.

It takes a long time to repair all the damage... but when we try to rush the job, we often find the same cracks appearing on the new canvas. Enjoyed this very much!
