I'm searching for an artist: Poem

 

I’m searching for an artist

 

Artists use broken glass

Glue it together and paint

Over the fragments.

It’s abstract, they say

They colour the fragments

With blue, green.

It’s abstract, they say.

When they say that,

The brokenness turns into expensive art.

 

I’m searching for an artist

To glue my brokenness

Glue the fragments together

With blue, green

I want the artist to say, “It’s abstract.”

Because when they say that,

My brokenness will turn into expensive art.
