truly he knew
           dreams do
                       not last forever
and his
best quote
       like smoke         evaporates
his palette dark needs light colors
a little yellow ochre
burnt umberish too
         much
spicy for a moment
       like
desire
                            piercing shallowly
                  salty
                oysters
with teeth
         needing sharpening
                               the butter hot
way
too
       sweet.
