Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in ergo sum hominus

2. pingo

i paint

burnt umber smudges
the edges of desert landscape
ultramarine blue, mixes
and we are neutral
for a moment

grit colors ground teeth
and the open wound of sunrise

as night becomes the underpainting
the last gray dries away tears
and the rest of bastard emotion.

sunlight becomes
the largest brush
i blur the world
long down
long up
bristles drag me across
the canvas.
Alcuin of York - on May 18 2007
I like very much the last strophe – everything related to the ‘brush’ metaphor. The only dislike I have is one of personal taste - the dark emotions expressed in what should be art – something with a joyful passion instead of a depressed intensity.
