I Paint My Brothers |
 |
|
Canvas
and stillness......
... the whisper of a brush.
I paint my brothers
in silence
as time recedes into the history
of old age.
At night by the fire
... they gather.
Their souls touching upon my heart
... touching memory
... hands upon
hands...
upon tears falling.
Hot embers of history!
... time
moving on. |
