Cry Paint Poem by The Poet SPIEL

i doubt i'll be painting daisies
like the others in this home
who can't recall their names

but please dear heart
smother me in gobs of paints
to keep my thumbnails caked and cruddy

don't scrub my sweats of muddy colors
and all that goop i used to flush
into our kitchen drain


can you hear my dear that i am here
but i can't cry in colors
like we used to share
