I’ll paint you a sky,
blue, purple,
grey,
blush pink.
I’ll paint you a skyline,
tall buildings, lights,
fog,
to soften it.

I’ll paint you a city,
bustling, bright,
alive,
breathing.
I’ll paint you a street,
white lines, yellow
cars,
speeding.

I’ll paint you a house.
brick, old,
cold,
crumbling.
I’ll paint you,
hair down, eyes open,
gazing,
at the horizon.
