At-home painting time
Faerie tales with “spirit world with geoa”
--
Once upon a time
the fey in my ramshackle house
got scared
there was a fire down the street from us and they were all scattered-worried
are we safe???
I held them and they calmed, soft touches without tangible skin
they’d settle down only to get riled up again,
I think so, I say, again and again. It’ll be ok :)
patient happy home safe, ish, as we settle-wrestle into worried sleep, curled up and warm on our couch
the next day, I come home from work
they are so excited
looklooklooklooklooklooklook
comecomecomecome come!
they say, jumping, pulling my hands, looklooklook
bringing me into the living room, presenting a blank wall
ta DA, a flourish of hands and joy felt thrumming through us
I smile, patient school teacher with excited young ones, and then blink
and this tree
lights up our room, lanterns and fey and colours galore swirling on our wall
our home, our art,
look! they said, so, incredibly, proud
thank you I say, meaning it
it’s beautiful
the art dripped and stayed, paint fading, changing, seeping, into the walls
spreading and eating and filling the home
safe, I say
safe
relief, they share, feelings without words humming through us, a tapestry of thought all built and nudged and colour coded, tiny splashes of nuance and spirals from each of us
they reutrn to whatever home sprites do with their days, just being their delightful selves
the tree hums
their paint melting into a disconcerting depth, otherwordly and familiar
as I write and smile and share my thoughts
