red ochre hand
on the cave wall
who are you to me?
Ā 
if we shared a time in history together
would you be a friend?
Ā 
I seek the company of artists,
musicians,
and poets;
is that you?
Ā 
are you staring at the wall
as I do pages
wondering if you can leave a lasting impression?
Ā 
red ochre hand
I believe you to be
the greatest artist of us all
