verdigris_loves_verdigris
mahayana over a period of time
seawater gives way to exposure

weathered patina
emotives of fondness
tainted copper

as makers of 15th century paintings
we entice each other with elements of
light fastness & air resistance

everything breaks down
common pigments | our inhibitions |
everything takes us over
desires of affection
life sustaining intimations
so much more than just a touch

carefully layering applications

degradation of time
see it in her eyes
fickle pigments
we waited too long
so much has changed

bite of the lip
stolen sighs
desires suppressed

dreaming in bronze colors of grass
a night to be relived

rapid discoloration
moments of knowing each others thoughts
catalyst for organic reactions
fading from each others blushed cheeks

save me from these reminders
