The Painter Poem by Matthew Buchwald

The Painter

Rating: 5.0


A cat runs away
It swallows the stars like a sacred charm,
It has always been old
Immune to the cold
It has always scorned daylight.

Holes of seedlings punctured by the moon.
All the thorns on the hedges agree,
They never fail to agree
Any idea, any feeling
And frost freezes in their ears when they agree.

A woman with ardent fingers inspects the sea of hate,
She disposes of its oddities
As thorns do in a hedge,
As cats do with their claws
And women in a trance.

A woman with ardent fingers inspects the sea of hate, She disposes of its oddities As thorns do in a hedge, As cats do with their claws And women in a trance as thorns do in a hedge. great comparisons. s very good poem. tony
