Discoloration
Matt Krane
as if eaten away
beyond the storm
overwhelmingly
searing colors
beating back clouds
fixed by light
cleaning wounds
stroke deeply & clear
eddy of dark water
today with cancer
the shroud lifts
menacing brush
here a guest
the season ends
pulled out of sight
uncharacteristic
in water, silhouettes
(tears, shriek, hush)
uncomposed
it doesn’t affect you
a canvas corner
strokes against realism
appearance of blood
that swan in the sky
a pupil’s bridges
turning in wind
raise their oars
a thick cocktail
scans came back
you unravel
