His Palette Retorts

Sebastian

couldn’t live

without saving

the walls

His paint

covering over

dire messages

 scrawled

 

All passersby  

witnessed

each canvas

restored

Reframing

dark alleys

with hope

evermore

 

Sebastian

a warrior

of brush

and stroke fame

Graffiti

a pockmark

his quest

to disclaim

 

Alone

in his wander

where shadows

hold court

Each wall of new

slander

his palette

— retorts
