IMAGINARY PAINTING
There is no painting here.
No artist prepared
a palette, a canvas.
No ecstasy or agony
of creation.
Nothing was lugged
to a gallery.
No one returned,
disappointed, to a garret.
It was never displayed
in hallway, drawing room,
library, museum.
It is not real, except
as silence, out
of the reach of sense,
a whim, a dream.
I’ve made a lot of those……..
