Sta.sh
He was a big man, says the size of his shoes
On a pile of broken dishes by the house;
A tall man too, says the length of the bed
In an upstairs room; and a good, God-fearing man,
Says the Bible with a broken back
On the floor below a window, bright with sun;
But not a man for farming, say the fields
Cluttered on boulders and a leaky barn.
A woman lived with him, says the bedroom wall
Papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves
Covered with oilcloth, and they had a child
Says the sandbox made from a tractor tire.
Money was scarce, say the jars of plum preserves
And canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar-hole,
And the winters cold, say the rags in the window-frames.
It was lonely here, says the narrow country road.
Something went wrong, says the empty house
In the weed-choked yard. Stones in the fields
Say he was not a farmer; the still-sealed jars
In the cellar say she left in a nervous haste.
And the child? Its toys were strewn in the yard
Like branches after a storm – a rubber cow,
A rusty tractor and a broken plow,
A doll in overalls. Something went wrong, they say.
Nice work, it gives me inspiration.
It kinda looks like the house threw up the furniture.
Bah, I'm not good at intelligent critique or stating why I like something, this just gives you one of those gut feelings. You just know it's a "good painting" when you see it.
(and my mother who is sitting behind me says it's good too. haha)
I imagine some sort of werewolf story line behind this painting. I'm not sure why...but that's the first thing that popped into my head.
