L. V., I Found This Poem Rereading A Book You Gave Me Years Ago

Detail of "Jeune homme à la fenêtre" ("Man at the Window")
Gustave Caillebotte, 1875

I was watching a film the other day. The boy confessed: I can’t stand the silence—I need to speak to you.

- L. V.

And it reminded me of the first time I fell in love. It wasn’t with a boy. It was with silence.

- L. V.

In a dream, the world shut its mouth forever and the backyard flowers began to bloom in colours we have yet to name.

- L. V.

We learned to make music another way—first with hands and feet. Later, with the way we breathe.

- L. V.

Isn’t it strange how even love could backfire? Because here I am years later and I couldn’t care less for silence anymore. I can’t stand it—speak to me.

- L. V.

Detail of "Young Painter at His Easel" by Théodore Géricault (French, 1791-1824)

you fell in love with an artist
who covered up white lie after white lie
like they were blank canvases

with raspberry sunsets and ocean blue
eyes, sometimes with midnight forests

that waited in still silence for fires to
devour them because it’s the only way
for them to ever light up.

- L. V.

Detail of "The Painter in his Studio" by Francois Boucher (French, 1703-1770)

don’t fall in love with an artist.
they collect tears to wipe excess rain
bows off their brushes. they’d collect yours
to wipe their hands clean.

- L. V.

Detail of "A Painter at Work" by Paul Cezanne (French, 1839-1906)

i fell in love with an artist once,
who punched fault lines into my heart
and concealed them with red finger paint.

he hung it up to dry and everyone called it
beautiful.

My mouth says: wouldn’t it be easier if our hearts were like flowers?

On the Balcony (Detail)
Childe Hassam, 1888

Someone asks patiently: what do you mean?

Wouldn’t it be easier if, on certain days, we could just pluck out our heart

like a flower, plant it temporarily in a pot, so we can get on with our day?

Then once we get home, we can plant it right back in its place.

Because today’s one of those days that doesn’t require a heart.

L. V., i found this poem in the midst of an anxiety attack
