Give Me A Hand
Many of them offered
to give me a hand
to paint the town red.
The background was to be in
a different palette,
darker, more sombre
befitting these times.
I asked them to wear gloves
so that I could
preserve their memory like
the long dried up palette,
peeling their outer skin
just like the gloves.
And like the gloves,
I hung them all
out to dry.
