can anyone

you, with the calloused fingertips and the
petty change glittering in the velvet lining
of your instrument casket--

you, slapping the end of your monogrammed pen
against a maze of scribbled diagnoses and
arched eyebrows--

you, charcoal in hand, setting fire to a
canvas, black embers settling on your
skin, cool and white--

you there, perched on a thundercloud,
spitting lightning and brushing the finger of sin,
knowing--

can anyone make sense of it
?
