Canvas shook violently

as my fingertips scrubbed against it, vigorously

red, peach, black, white

decorated the aisle of overwhelm

when the specimen reached

its destiny, I stepped back

not caring about the stains, spills,

and chaos of colors

slid down with my back

against the opposite wall,

as my legs gave up, my head in my hands,

you might be wondering

then look at the painting.
