The Words of Warning

"While the paint is still wet," they said

"While the canvas is pristine and white

the mind is pregnant with the need:



to be lived out

                                  and cut deep

and worn smooth

                                and put to sleep

and woken rough

                                and made to pay

and sculpted well

                                 and blown away



the colours of your blood, sweat, and tears

are meant to be hurled at the world easel

with a final despairing cry for withered youth

sucked down the hourglass

only the memory snatched to stay behind."
