Muse: Katalina
She looks at the world with innocent eyes
Seeking not to change it
But to beautify it
With a colorful vision
That doesn’t require her paints and brushes
To vivify
And while she has ideas and concepts and goals
I know that if she ever found herself
Being sucked down the bleak drain of a “mission”
if what began as a starful joy
turned into a black hole of obligation
She would pull herself free—
even if it cost her arms
And kick her way back
To her world of wonder
Put brushes
Between teeth and toes
Paint with mouth and feet
For her colors cannot be contained
In tubes or on bristles
Or in her heart
