1st February 2025

President's consoling words?

"It was dwarves."

If I should die before my Swedish Clean

is at completion, consider my wish

that everything I owned that can be seen

is valu'ble as sunlight on a broken dish.

There is no need to glorify my name

and write my life in tones of tinted rose

for like a billion others in this game

my art is mediocre, I suppose.

Give my painted dreams to those who feel a spark

of joy when they have looked upon my work

as fleeting as the song of morning lark

or lasting as their shadowed demons lurk.

 Art is reinvented every day

 and mine should be forgotten, thrown away.
