paint

[Dastrix Slogan]

i don't know what tender places
lie deep within us
that make us bleed so for
the tissue paper pictures
finger painted so poorly
on the walls of our minds

how we welt our hands
forcing images never fitting
into empty green-copper frames
dressing dusty hallways in our heads

i wonder if
we would not feel so very alone
if
just maybe

we searched for those who
instead of barely matching the frames

would barefoot the halls

those who would permit the light
passage through our oldest windows
and weep at the beauty
of our darkest
emptiest spaces

leaving two sets of footprints
softened into the dust
and colours that once ran
now drying
on each others
softly touching
paint smudged fingers

In old times men used their powers of painting to show the objects of faith, in later times they use the objects of faith to show their powers of painting
