II.X
She coats a dirty two-inch brush with varnish
and transfers the tint over the painted gore
and other substances which tarnish
a once council-installed apartment door.
With dexterous fingers and a well-honed skill
she covers illustrated surface art
eking her depleting varnish 'til
she's protected every single part
and sealed within the stink of pigment made
from body waste and colour dredged from trash
while yellow light reflected from the surface played
upon her memory like a pirate captain's lash.
