Curve of parted lips, revealing teeth
Emergent hues of sunrise on the heath
Glimpse of mocking skull beneath the skin
Night remnants hide in shadows, growing thin
Ape behind the artist, showing fear
Palette mix of peat and heather sere
Turn the frown around, cracking your face
Brush strokes depicting clouds, finer than lace
Use less muscles; conserving energy
Under the sun, art turns to anarchy
Crows leave marks around your sparkling eyes
Dawn landscape wears its beauty as disguise
A single tear, cascading pearl of joy
Illuminated details, rendered coy
Share the joke, spreading the gift of mirth
Patterns of the mind, not of the earth
