Like Tumbleweeds

September 16, 2021 by Michael Guerin

The studio’s windows
are shuttered against the light.

Cobwebs hang like drapes
from the room’s four corners.

Hardened tubes of oil paint
fill a musty cardboard box.

My easel collects dust
in a sideboard’s drawer.

I haven’t held a brush
for more than a decade

as all of my landscapes
have somehow dried up

while season after season
has silently slipped by

like wind-blown tumbleweeds
past my front door.
