Bent Canvas

Arya Mohapatra, VR Ragesh 1 Minute

Arya Mohapatra

The painter
Now asks
If I mind leaving

His paint boxes alone
And stop smearing my little hand
Across his new canvas

Ink streaks all over
Messy

I smile and wipe my fingers on my
Pants
And walk away

And look at his colours
Behind the curtain
