PAINTING IN
by Leon Fedolfi
I am sometime or now
metamorphic intrusion.
I am pressure turned harder
from the movement of turning.
Sandstone converted
into grains of chest fitted.
Red auto now chased,
in the color of leaving.
Conform with consent
to blend with surrounding.
Evacuate all
except for the silence.
I will see you again
in the year of its choosing.
A word of pre-dying:
All within thought,
within the body of thought
just over the horizon.
Almost next to you. Almost a mountain.
A miles-long scarf
runs from the summit -
winds its way Red
through a city of
tight breaths
and lingered moments
of others.
