In Paint


I stand over my sink
Watching as grey water passes across paint stained metal
My muse exits in silence
His drink sat warm on the table
And I wonder if I will ever see him again, in flesh
His eternal canvas rests in the easel
Folded hands in blind judgement
I wonder if he knows
In reality or art
Of the space he leaves behind
The water runs clear, as I turn his face to the wall
