Art Project Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

when the ink has dried on the sky

He may write across it in stars

and there's your house


the one made out of color forms

or etched into scratch art

with colors layer on layer


so that you want to make

if your mother will let you

a color layer cake


using all the crayons at once


oh then you want to finger paint the sun

with more light than anyone has ever used before

except God of course in the beginning


with all His meteors.
