Art Poems

COLOR

Picasso had his blue period

Then the rose, followed by

The white, black and grey

of Guernica, his ode to

the horrors of war.

I don’t of Picasso in terms of red, period.

Red rests on every canvas in my living room above

the red Turkish carpet.

 

Dense rich vibrant cadmium.

It is blood spilled from a pin prick

an auto accident, or a soldier killed instantly.

 

I am connected to crimson through

My cycles of womanhood

and births of my children.

Red courses through my veins

and flows out through my brush,

the ultimate connection of my interior to my exterior.

Red pigment, is finally, for me,

the atonement.
