How do I see when my eyes form a haze
How will I live through monotonous days
distance and paper my hurdles to jump
mourning the tearful libation I'd drunk
I cant unsee this effluviant vision
I cant unmake this frantic incision
last of her life slowly running away
all that is left is this mottled decay
the skin loses pallor yet colors remain
slow revelation, this rainbow insane
green blending into the browns and the greys
the spectrum of death slowly crawls along veins
time lapse photographs capture it all
covering the length of my sanctuary walls
marveling at this display of the turning
of life into death, the artist is learning
she was my canvas my brush and my easel
someone once quoted that art's never evil
hold myself blameless creative catharsis
I finally let out my breath
