Portrait of Stillness

He tricked the boiled water to stay still. He painted the room florescent green and added a rug he found, damaged but a cool blue. There is a request for beauty, which means for exotic fruit or nudity or the way a brief smile breaks a face to force the past out. The way we marry to remarry when we can no longer draw triangles or squares or, especially, circles. He needed to feel the crush under his feet, the house as his land, the planet as his consolation, the bitter fruits he ate all his life because there was no other way. He had to eat them before they were ripped in a rush, a crack in the back of his mouth, a way of forgiving the wet kiss she placed on his lips the day she explained that leaving was what men do when they can’t work misery.
