Tilting
He carries oblique remarks
upon the canvas of his lips.
He paints them as disordered fact.
He paints them as distorted fact.
He slants the truth; as reckless
as concert crowds
after the last note is played.
To meet the artist as a truthful man
has long been my wish.
If art is meant to be beautiful,
let it dwell safely in his mouth.
Linda Imbler

telescope serves as inspiration for this belief. Linda’s self-published poetry
