The Rothko room
One door no window
Benches and
Gradations of color

After two hours
Mildly depressed
And marvelling

Lord
Let me be rich
Enough to kiss
One Rothko

Orange
Red
Should the ache dull,
consummate the liver,
fulfill desire,
I refuse to stop it.

I keep feeling the whole day in one pinch.

Perhaps writing should not render in burst
format as it ****** and rots.

Rothko knew pain was art because to Rothko
it was all art.
He would not budge, stood stooped in
knee-deep-scarlet splash-stained denim
begging all to see the colors through him.

Rothko paints mountains with pulses in
red rectangles.

This reflection of slumber

Unnoticed sirens find us missing

Fulfilling ecstasy softly

A small push to know lasting rapture

Love bridges this lonely nocturne

Listen as corners devour deeper

Stray flocks of lightning illuminate pale crests of your posture sleeping in my bed
