	The Painting Merchant Girl
	The Painting Merchant Girl


I knew a girl once Who cried so hard And so long And so often That the tears Corrosive and salty Eroded Tiny canyons in her cheeks Then everyone (Especially HE) Could see how real her tears were. Said HE to the merchant “You cannot take back what you give!” “Then I shall grow a new one!” The merchant weeped “Though – Like a starfish’s arm Not quite as big Not quite as strong Not quite as trusting.” HE nodded Then left with her heart I knew a girl once Who, one day, decided to paint She threw away her previous fiasco And dipped her brush into thin air Stroking away at something invisible And there she sat Painting something no one could see Until her masterpiece finished itself And no thin air was left on her palette Or in the room She was smothered. I knew a painting merchant girl once Who used to write for me The most beautiful words She had the ability to string them together Like pearls on a necklace But now… She’s too busy Re-growing her heard Crying a canyon of tears And trying to breathe. She writes no more. © 2006 Born again Pagan...and again...and again.... Halsey Alyn · Fri Sep 19, 2008 @ 07:51am · 0 Comments
