Can (a)
painting speak
words?
Can it tell
the story
of roads
traveled
Of shoes
worn
of thoughts
spent
eyes
seen
hands
felt
in the strokes
of its brush
pen
mark
line
Can a painting
tell?
‘The elder rose up in reply and stretched out his hands to heaven and his fingers became like ten lamps of fire.
He said, ‘Why not be totally changed into fire?’
And so (I).
Tell.
in love.
