Dull
Inspired by Christina’s World, a piece created by Andrew Wyeth
In multiple shades of grey, the landscape spreads
no one knows what is going on in Christina’s head
she feels the winds soft swirl, and the grass beneath her feet
this is Christina's world.
What’s in the house? Why is she crawling?
both good questions, with only Cristina knowing the answer
no family, alone, cold, scared, a few more feet
until we know the answers.
birds cawing, sun beating, she needs to get there
feels like Christina has aged there for centuries
when really barely any time has passed
her time is running out, but she doesn’t know.
Finally she arrives to the worst news
no ones home, everything is gone
her time is almost done
she has to crawl all the way back.
