Bright white November
hangs in square portraits on my black rectangular walls
Edward Hopper brushstrokes
lend pale isosceles dappling's at the turn of a tall hour

Diamond hard rain begins to tick off the glass panes
emphasizing the slow thick tick
of the cow-full coffee pot ;looking to be drained
bright orange "on" light
like the cheese, the prize at the end of this empty house maze

Scott Weiland sings Plush, it drifts on the cold dull air
like a hapless Picasso
angular and odd out of the transistor grill
accoustic murder songs are always welcome on the off days
blue and many eyed

I approach the blank canvas
without zest
I land one red slash across its existance
and retire my brush/scalpel/weapon
a violent thought has lent me...

A Cardinal Before Winter.

Thanx, very pretty.
