You've painted
a room
with crows,
and a tree
of black
Paint based
on something.
But I
Have no basis
to be here.

So would you like
To paint
a henna tattoo
that is based
on something
or has a basis
to be somewhere,
on me
Or my ribcage?


(Simple, dumb, needs help. Help?)

on the contrary, i don't think it needs much of anything...there were only a couple of things that caught me:  the use of 'paint', and the idea of a tattoo on you (?)--it did not quite settle.  i think i understand the intent, and think you are close.

I didn't think the last line worked very well but I liked the rest of it. The first stanza really all fit together. This only needs like tiny editing. Its pretty good
