Oh, Andy- speak to me in paints: red, yellow, blue When I told you I wouldn't be good at this, an inability to sketch hands that punched at everything leaving me weak. Keane's sorrow filled eyes upon oil made more sense to me. I was never angry or mean, just sad and hopeless. Lichtenstein was more your speed with obscene images of ******* women and dialogue of broken hearts. Van Gogh never made sense, but his attention to detail caught my eye. To not know what goes on in your own head is identifiable so, my head is art crafted by Picasso. they hospitalize you once you've lopped your ear off when giving a part of themselves to a lover. I'm not cut out for this- the starving artist, the tragic sketcher, or the natural- born painter. I've calloused my hands, shed tears on pages of sketchbooks put paint that looks childlike and nothing worthwhile, in all the time spent learning, I've never learned how to be an artist. I thought it was the mantra to be pained and miserable, but you accounted for bold choices and vivid primary shades. I feel betrayed, that my art alone, isn't enough to be good. They will never frame my name, or immortalize flaws in which could never be erased. Like our conversation in my dream: "I can't be mean." -Me "Killing yourself isn't much different" -You So Andy, what is the color I'm feeling? If it isn't blue? —V.H.

In Your Pop Art

The child mournful, A single salted tear slides down a cheek, Holds the secrets of a woman, Locked within a room,with a door that creaks. She creates such sadness, mother to the artwork, Man who claims to be a father, Overshadows the button of the girl’s dripping nose. Etched within walls, a desire to say the truth: “He’s not the artist” Look within those big eyes, the elegance of youth, Deep inside her true love’s lies- the choppy strands that show the instability of growth within the painter’s eyes.

Big Eyes
The child mournful, A single salted tear slides down a cheek, Holds the secrets of a woman, Locked within a room,with a door that creaks. She creates such sadness, mother to the artwork, Man who claims to be a father, Overshadows the button of the girl’s dripping nose. Etched within walls, a desire to say the truth: “He’s not the artist” Look within those big eyes, the elegance of youth, Deep inside her true love’s lies- the choppy strands that show the instability of growth within the painter’s eyes.
