Lucy: blackout



life is so deceptive sometimes - - -

the veins of the brush
purged onto papyrus,
& obliterated every statue
carved onto the page.

she fingered the rusty filters
in her ashtray, eyes hiding behind
preoccupation.

"it used to be like automatic writing -

those angles that fell back
and kissed boundaries,
pounded into the cement

& I can't etch away much more
before the curves become welts."

I know that it's a guy in the picture... but this just really got the ball rolling for a poem in this series. I hope that's okay. If not, feel free to DQ.
