Some mediums cannot be erased
Light tints don’t cover darker hues
So, I am only partly colored in
with most of it, a deep blue
Somehow along the gallery wall
time got lost in the paint-by-numberings
while unfinished in a corner, sat a portrait
pushed aside with day-to-day encumberings
Dreamsight faded into monochrome
the past leaving a large lasting stain
if only all unwanted marks could be washed away
like watercolors in the rain
