Home

she once told me it deadens a painting

by Rowan Luis

I took it almost literally, and imagined a hole into which everything else poured.
Just now; a conversation blue and then a doorslam like the colour black.

Hey, this is pretty good work, if you ask me.

Yes, this is quite the cerebral rendering. I'll have to reread later on once I've got some coffee into me...it's still early.

Yeah, this is pretty good; it kind of reminds me of that film The Machinist... I do not know why.

this, too, is my "second pathetic jaunt." i wonder how it is that i hadn't found you then or now sooner. this is truly divine. very enjoyable.

i really like the first stanza, and the way the second stanza feels, but i've always had trouble interpreting colours...

i love thinking of things/people/places/emotions/experiences in colors.
