If a canvas is a window
What kind of world will I see?
Are there many greeny trees?
Is there hopeful light coming in to the window?
Is the scene disastrous?
Can I see monsters?
Bricks?
If a canvas is a moveable window
Where should I put it?
under the sea?
upside down in the forest?
And call it as a reflection?
….let’s put my window right in front of a temple cast in white-moon light
because I think it is romantic.
If a canvas is a door
Should I knock at the door and open it?
Even if I don’t hear any answer from the other side
Should I wait to be invited?
Should I break the lock?
Maybe the door doesn’t open
If there is a day that it is snowing,
Let’s stop painting and say snow is my painting.
The white
ground
center
roofs
branches
the lake
And the corner of the street
Even your breath is white.
Then snow falls onto the door
Door opens
Magical
Now
I can paint.
