I saw you in the mirror
You were wearing your hair differently
Carrying the air differently
You said you wear your hair long parted in the middle
Long in solidarity just like all his women
In Long Beach
Aimless
Your fingers wiping oil on the paper with precision
With decision like an artist never seen yet with a vision
With a reason
Stared with venom at the ceiling
Not the grass
But straight ahead
Just At the skyline
With precision
Laser vision
Time was stopping
Moving through you
You dictated
By what moved you
Only moving never thinking
Match the sun that's slowly sinking
At the height of the afternoon
In the heat of the summer evening
Like a phoenix like a chem trail like a wavelength No
One's claiming
Georgia o Keefe
Georgia peaches
Doing nothing but your painting
For forever
Forget teachers
Forgive him for ever leaving
Love is rising
No resisting
Cheeks are flushing
Now you're living
Say goodbye now
No resisting
Live your life like
No one's listening
Be the art the life is breathing
Be the soul the world is living
For you only
Not for giving
Just for taking
No one's listening
At the end of Rose and Rich
Down the street that's green and winding
Past the bushes cypress thriving
Past the chain link fence and driving
Further down the road less travelled
There you are athleisure wear unraveled
Now I see you clear
Standing stoic blue and denim
Eyes not blue but clear like
Heaven
You don't want to be forgotten
You just want to disappear
