Lessons Taught and Learned
I learned to shape words
into fragile existence
with a swipe of ink.
You taught me how to
give worth to the little thoughts
swirling in my head.
You learned to fill cream
colored paper with loud shades:
turquoise, amber, green.
I taught you how to
speak your hurt, anger, sadness
in brilliant colors.
