Collection of the Artist

Let me
Be the surface
You look upon so thoughtfully
Let my white skin be your canvas
You frown at as you
Choose your colours carefully
Then decide, and
Begin to mix them
A palette of pleasure

Then
No expression
Your eyes are distant
As you load your brush
And lower it
To my skin

Paint me
Brush me lightly
Inks and colours and
The quiet half smile
Of your satisfaction
A work in progress
But I'm coming
Along

With every stroke
You mark me
With every concentrated breath
You make me
Your own
Masterpiece

And in the show I will sit prettily
Carefully composed,
Artfully arranged
Framed only in the
Halogen track lighting
Of your exacting gaze

With a red dot on the frame
And a note saying
From the
Collection of the artist
