Painting is therapy

I propped them up 
All of them the color of a garden 
Hung them tightly on nails and screws along brick
And left 

They each are gardens of my hours 
Countries of my sadness
Embarrassment 
Anxiety wound up carefully in linseed oil and pigment 
Brushed ever so lightly onto a canvas made of cotton 
Duck fabric 
Gesso

You may think you're looking at a buffalo 
Really you are looking at the color of the house by our river
The arm of the water stretched beside it
An argument I resolved with the color coral 
And prayer on prayer on prayer
