The Us

everything in my house
is still
if i could paint
oil paint
i would get out my canvas
and capture the stillness
in muted tones
of hunter green and beige
maroon for the throw pillow

i would hang it on the wall
like a reflection

with water colors i would paint
what i'm feeling inside
bright primaries
washed out
swirls of confusion
diluted
like my delusions
of you and me
and the us that isn't there
