My Dearly Beloved
November 21, 2019
A friend whos almost went,
fighting the sickness.
Struggling through the race.
Life or death is the unknown.
The feared edgy being,
Versus a majestic beast.
The controlled stillness,
or the unexpected movement.
Colorful and lively,
dark and dreary.
Always in our thoughts.
My dearly beloved,
you are sorely missed.

I had gone to the Fralin Art Museum with my Creative Writing class. There was a specific painting that caught my eye. Not for the work itself but for the story behind it. It was a painting by Kiki Smith called For David Wojnarowicz, she painted a painting of an elegant octopus and a creepy spider. She painted it in reference to her diseased friend who passed away from an illness. I wrote a poem based on the meaning of her painting, not the painting itself.
