Paint!

If you hear a voice within you saying, “You are not a painter,” then by all means paint, boy, and that voice will be silenced.

Vincent van Gogh letter to Theo.

NIGHT SNACK

Tonight we plucked that apricot moon
and ate it,
not in a gulp,
but with long laps of tongues,
carving of teeth,
squeezing nectar against palettes
till it trickled
down
our
open
throats.
