this painting belongs to you
by Carissa DeweyThe fan's rotating beats
hang with my attention,
here I am
thoughts wrapped around you.
These empty beer bottles and
my slight haziness taking blame
for this ache-
and my
numb thoughts.
Outside it’s raining and a cool
breeze carries aromas
of a distant farm
against my bareness,
keeping me dull-
still
and I feel like I’m a brush stroke
hanging on your wall.
