I Wish Writing Stained You The Way Art Does: Fingertips Gray With Charcoal, Bright Paint Splattered Against

I wish writing stained you the way art does: fingertips gray with charcoal, bright paint splattered against a face, wet clay drying on skin. To be looked at and to be thought of an artist. 

Sometimes I look at these hands and imagine ink dripping down my nails, my palms, my wrists. Onto the floor. Black blood and the type of visual beauty that doesn’t exist yet, and maybe never will.

It’s autumn, and we’re getting rid / of books, getting ready to retire, / to move some place smaller, more / manageable. We’re living in reverse, / age-proofing the new house, nothing / on the floors to trip over, no hindrances / to the slowed mechanisms of our bodies, / a small table for two. Our world is / shrinking, our closets mostly empty, / gone the tight skirts and dancing shoes, / the bells and whistles. Now, when / someone comes to visit and admires / our complete works of Shakespeare, / the hawk feather in the open dictionary, / the iron angel on a shelf, we say / take them. This is the most important / time of all, the age of divestment, / knowing what we leave behind is / like the fragrance of blossoming trees / that grows stronger after / you’ve passed them, breathing / them in for a moment before / breathing them out. An ordinary / Tuesday when one of you says / I dare you, and the other one / just laughs.

“Today is a wonderful day, an avalanche of light and I would like to stand with you in this rain of sunshine, to flow together, to melt into it… in mornings like this, life roars within me.”

Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, January 13, 1950 [#128]
