hysteria



there’s an artist sitting in my head

making sketches of my thoughts.

he would like to finish his task

before the moon kisses the heavens-

three masterpieces for the gallery

one for a grand exhibition.

so he strikes more bold lines-

hatching and crosshatching

then blurring the rough ends

he bites his fingers in content

as his graphite’s nib breaks

floating on the canvass, my head.

so he carves again and again

starting the process all over-

the hatching, the crosshatching

and the mild blurring of rough ends


hysteria
