Pigment and Linen

Blank canvas
Intimidating
Promising
Almost like looking into the sun
Tubes of paint
Buttery and soft
Linseed oil
Like lube
Brushes, phallic instruments
Canvas becomes the vessel
Creating a picture of souls exposed
When I paint
It is of unknown lovers
Yet to be met
Like the blank canvas
There is promise in that
