Painting by the window
Samantha J Myers 1994 (United States)
I see a painting by the window
It moans mouthfuls at a time
I do not Understand what it is trying to tell me
Then all of a sudden i realized that this painting
is a swirl of colorful poetry
As i turn to walk away, the painting yawns
as if to tell me that it is tired, tired of explaining itself
i then realize that the painting by the window is a lifelong story of the artist above us
