How the Artist Forgets

Color her gone.
Color her a shade of here.
Color her absent from your hugs
but breathing heavily in your jittery heart.

Color her hot, with icy eyes.
Color her blending with the background.
Color her rough draft
to suggest something more.

But mostly, plainly,
repeatedly, memorably
color her gone.
