Physiognomy of Feeling
For you, monet
I take shape like a lily
Pea-green boat capsized
At the brink of a lavender island
Hue by hue
Word by word
Like clear water lapping up an edgeless shore
For me, tattoo
I take pains like a lily
White wave crest cut straight through
By the splinters of a wooden hull
Ring by ring
Current by current
Like salt water sloshing up against the grain
But for monet, subtleties
I take paint like a bruise
Mottled pink, purple, pink
Punch by punch
Blue by blue
So many lies to make me lie down next to you!
For tattoos, ink
I take bruises like an artist
Pea-green boat capsized
Into a reed-edged pond of iris blue
Stamp over stamp
Hand over hand
I pull you out of the depths onto land
Stamp over stamp
But for monet, subtleties
I take paint like a bruise
Mottled pink, purple, pink
Punch by punch
Blue by blue
So many lies to make me lie down next to you!
Punch by punch
Blue by blue
I lie down next to you
I take shape like a lily
Pea-green boat capsized
At the brink of a lavender island
Hue by hue
Word by word
Like clear water lapping up an edgeless shore
For me, tattoo
I take pains like a lily
White wave crest cut straight through
By the splinters of a wooden hull
Ring by ring
Current by current
Like salt water sloshing up against the grain
But for monet, subtleties
I take paint like a bruise
Mottled pink, purple, pink
Punch by punch
Blue by blue
So many lies to make me lie down next to you!
For tattoos, ink
I take bruises like an artist
Pea-green boat capsized
Into a reed-edged pond of iris blue
Stamp over stamp
Hand over hand
I pull you out of the depths onto land
Stamp over stamp
But for monet, subtleties
I take paint like a bruise
Mottled pink, purple, pink
Punch by punch
Blue by blue
So many lies to make me lie down next to you!
Punch by punch
Blue by blue
I lie down next to you
