Will you paint?


from the ABC set 2. Metamorphosis before Thirty

Will you paint me places, not yet been?
Unseen colour
Exploding stars,
My half-dreams of unending space
Roaming across a lonely bliss
That emptiness endures.

Will you paint what's beyond me when eyelids close and pulse
Like a welded door that raging flares cannot breach
Will you show me the things I may never reach
Will you think of me

When I sail my ship across
The darkened dead of fear;
On a far flung planet
Where a day at a time,
Is longer than a year?
