6h Pencils
\nVCS<\/p>\n
Hard etched lines
\nSketched cruelly by a clan
\nof reckless hands
\nCaring about each cut millimeter
\ntearing through the fleshy layers
\nof pressed pulp page
\nand the work of art under the
\n6h pencils razor lead blades
\nThreatening to tear the page with each
\nJagged
\nIrregular line <\/p>\n
Reclaimed page
\nFutile to think the scribbles
\nCould ever be removed
\nThe true picture revealed
\nHappy endings
\nAre meant to be believed in
\nEven for what looks like a
\nPiece of paper that could be tossed
\ncrumpled
\ninto the garbage can <\/p>\n
No different than the thousands of other pages
\nlost under similar circumstance<\/p>\n
No different until it is picked up
\nBy the wind
\nBy hands
\nBut most of all the submission of self
\nTo not resist the reclaiming process
\nTo not tear
\nAs each unkind imprint in alleviated
\nUnderstood
\nErased
\nAnd integrated into the picture
\nThat had been obscured underneath
\nIt is now uncovered<\/p>\n
Richer in shading
\nDeeper in layers
\nDimensions that defy the eye
\nNo mind conceived this art
\nThe imperfections integrated into the picture
\nSeamlessly
\nSo naturally
\nYou’d never know
\nAs it is carefully placed into
\nA complimentary matte
\nA protected now behind glass
\nIn a place of honor on the wall
\nThat this masterpiece
\nHung beside other classic pieces of art
\nThroughout the ages
\nWas intended by cruel grown up children
\nFor nothing more
\nThan violent scribbles
\nAnd the refuse bin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
