Inspired by the beautiful words of author Jacqueline E. Smith

If you use the same paint, then it all works out
and sometimes it’s necessary to let the paint dry
because life is painting and takes time,
sometimes, memories unwind,
and pause before the sketch is drawn:
your hands are red acrylic, bleeding
ink, but I take them in mine
and blend.
