And with the hazy stormburnt clouds breaking
under wavering candlelight, Goya paints
the flaky tanned walls over with faraway lands.
He smokes imaginations on taupe canvases.

Slathers the insurmountable peaks
in the background, dark in their magnitude.
A valley of red is gashed into the foothills.
His thoughts go at each other with cudgels,
legless but overwhelming. They threaten to strike
again, but they are ghosts he can't feint.
So he paints and the sky cracks over them,
splitting his world at its crux.
