I am becoming a timeless watercolor..
Charcoal etchings
black faded to gray
and back again,

I follow the lines
within my memory
and smudge
what I don't want to remember.

Childhood laughter
I draw in with my pencil

(it was a line I smudged)

I want to create a time
I was not given,
fill in the spaces
and erase the black.

Perhaps the tears
will add some depth

and change the etchings
into a timeless watercolor...
