4 EARTH TONES IN WINTER: Burnt Sienna not yet invented & several significant Questions.
(Burnt Sienna) Always darkness, thunder, burnt wood, glyphs while you sleep beneath an archive of stars. You should name things. You should invent antibiotics and stop fucking your daughter. There’s an order to the mud. The moon looks like a canoe for a reason. Can you find your mouth? Can you count to four?
(Yellow ochre) An inspiration. Clay. Pottery. Barter. Gold crowns for concubines in gowns of eagle feathers. Illumination. Manuscripts and lamps. On the otherHOME mountain, they eat sand. Make they applaud first and remember to say thank you. Invent manners.
Remember your prayers.
(Indian Red #234) We cross the great waters. They are finite and disappoint. We have metal now, with points. The spear. The compass. The novel and brain surgery. The brick high school. The nuclear family. The nuclear bomb. You tell me. What went wrong?
(Raw Umber) In the night, we ask forgiveness. Random lightning, shiver of birch. A lone oboe. Twigs like razors. River hungry like an ugly mouth. Lipstick across a curse. I was an A student. I was fast track. I was promised music.
