Literature Text

i. it was once said
that romantics had it worst;

they bleed out words onto 
paper thin promises
hoping ink will catch and lay
all the roads they wish to travel.

ii. poets have this odd habit
of simply knowing metaphorical ways
to guess your most hidden secrets.

blurring words together,
scratching out an inevitable 
loss with their soul, covering
and hiding the scars a pen causes
each time their hand embraces cool,
black dye. 

iii. artists are champions
at hide and seek.

they smear lies into
pigment and hope
whoever is skilled to view
past acrylic shaped falsities,
is also proficient in scouring
away imperfections.  
artists have such a hard time.

I love your wording. Damn. Your words and everything are just so fracking beautiful. I also love the numerals. I love poems with numerals because its like different expanses filled with everything, sewn into other great expanses.
