subtleties

A single clown
drowning in an ocean
making people laugh
to death.

An artist in a room
of torn fabric silks
creating beautiful paintings
that the world observes.

A musician in an empty street
performing to the wind
a soliloquy of pain
disguised as a masterpiece.


A poet in their room
writing little snippets of sonnets
trying to reach to her, his love,
a deep lakeside of words, of emotions.

A mother somewhere at work
busy pushing 18 hours at home
cooking meals that taste extraordinary.

Somewhere the meanings fizzle out
like a record player in a room of people
slowing skipping to the next song, skip
ping over lost thoughts
we forgot once.
