the paint smock i find in the cats’ den
when i shake it out i am covered in fur
instead i cut three holes in a black trash bag
plastic-bag-princess-protection against the gesso and pumice gel
because there is no time to change
(my bare arms goosebump)
now i paint that baobab
but the snow outside
has blurred the tree’s silhouette
how i resent having to search for references
