Red Painting (1950)

He sits in the recesses of my mind

An ancient one

A cryptic one

He sends a nebulous haze of emotions & yearnings my way

At inconvenient times

With insufferable pleas

Polluting my pure conscious higher mind

His corporeal weariness is my woe

Let me be free of this fate!

But freedom is death

So I harmonize with him

I decrypt his ancient haze with art & meditation

And care for the small child inside
