Love, a Painting
The painting is divided, two halves exactly alike; in each, the lovers are lying down suspended in a misty white. This is how it was with us in our room of candles and darkness where walls flew off like ravens, like the lovers in this painting held in weightless space where anything, even the brush of a leg or face could collapse the air beneath them and make them fall. The painting is divided, two halves exactly alike; as if this painting captured a certain point in time when the same painting painted itself in each lover’s mind; this is how it was.
