![]() does death merely stop for no one?A Poem by Bones-Guts-and-Flowers
Claude Monet still painted as his sight was fading
Moving from bright colors and distinct lines To muddiness and a vague sense of what you are supposed to be looking at I believe my sight is fading as well Moving from what I want and who I am To raw emotion and a vague sense of what I’m *supposed* to be C’est la vie Es ist Wurst von mir All the glasses and second-opinions make the two shapes into three or four or more God Forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me For like my sight, I am not perfect 20/60 right eye gone Blinded by rage, Sadness consumes my vision This is not who I am, or supposed to be For like my sight, I am not perfect I can’t just apologize, that ruins the painting of Broken friendships Ruined relationships Selfish actions Petty words Misguided feelings Our Father Restore my sight Use the mud and make my paintings whole My impressionistic vision may be stopping But the death of Love stops for no one © 2021 Bones-Guts-and-Flowers |
