---
there was an equine artist
who cut herself while in art class
she blended the blood
into the paint and
used it to render the horses mane
she was put in an insane asylum
many gifted people
are "insane"
are their minds designed differently
to show us the hell inside
so we could come to terms with
our own hearts and minds
and their deepest dungeons
of angst and emotions?
our own poetic expression
and voice?
our most profound space of fear?
Plath was a diety
Sexton a goddess
Van Gogh an icon
he cut off his own ear
an artist also bleeds
