:D Here is one of my poems from this season--it's about my art!

Here is simple text for any that the file does not work for:

---

You are my dependence
You are my means to all
I run you over the grain of the canvas
Over the keys so soaked in invisible grime
You are preciousness in its most wordless form
And yet you are where the words are housed
Seconds before impact with this planet.

You are often scarred and bleeding
You are often sore and buckled
I overuse you and use you in turns
In a fever I paw the sick melodies away
You bring me to the summit at your own expense
And as you heal and grow tougher
I realize what an investment the pain is.
