MASTERPIECE

flesh-tinted canvas
festooned with
c r i m s o n  tendrils

and

glistening  s a p p h i r e  pools
that coalesce into
voids of i n k y  darkness
just as they reach the middle

and

a curtain of chocolate brown
that cascades down
from high above,

shielding the  s i g n a t u r e
that i inscribed so ingeniously
onto my portrait--

the portrait that is slowly fading away into a 
v i g n e t t e.
