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.
