To Love an Artist

Pardon me for saying that your lips
are lips and your hair is hair. Your eyes shine
with the reflection of lights
not your own. When you laugh I hear
sadness, anger, occasionally
humor but I don’t hear
angels singing on high choir.
Your frame is gangly and
ungraceful. Your skin is slick
with the hours of hard labor at
that fast food restaurant. Those freckles
across your cheek make your skin
splotchy, blemished and pale. However,

the world is miniscule in comparison
to the power your hands possess.
They caress the bones and undress
the soul. They knead into every crevice
and send sorrows and worries
into submissiveness.
Your hands breathe
life into death and ignite
fires in the night to shine bright, brighter
than any speck of light that survives
times and times past only to die
before even being sighted by our eye.
