Detail of "Young Painter at His Easel" by Théodore Géricault (French, 1791-1824)

you fell in love with an artist
who covered up white lie after white lie
like they were blank canvases

with raspberry sunsets and ocean blue
eyes, sometimes with midnight forests

that waited in still silence for fires to
devour them because it’s the only way
for them to ever light up.

- L. V.

Detail of "The Painter in his Studio" by Francois Boucher (French, 1703-1770)

don’t fall in love with an artist.
they collect tears to wipe excess rain
bows off their brushes. they’d collect yours
to wipe their hands clean.

- L. V.

Detail of "A Painter at Work" by Paul Cezanne (French, 1839-1906)

i fell in love with an artist once,
who punched fault lines into my heart
and concealed them with red finger paint.

he hung it up to dry and everyone called it
beautiful.

- L. V.
