If I Could Paint


If I could paint, I would paint the white light on wet leaves in a dark wood.


If I could paint, I would paint the blue sky reflected on a damp branch.


If I could paint, I would paint the buds on a chestnut tree tossing in the breeze like antlers.


If I could paint, I would paint the grey and pink of wood pigeons against a grey sky and pink blossom.
