Description when you spill me
over canvases, i am
whitewashed and
crying like a child

for these walls are
not built for broken
blood vessels, only
milk and cream,

tea and sugar and it
all spills like a flood
creating faucets
in tiny corners

and these limbs
are not meant for
painting, they say
dripping crimson
