Brilliance adjusts

 ‘brilliance adjusts’ Trgates,6/9/2025

Leonardo di Vinci
tossed undesired canvases, 
painted more than once over masterpieces.
Michelangelo did the same,
who knows the pieces of marble that pressed the earth from dissatisfaction.
Rodin, the same.
Rublev’s iconographic colours may have began like they looked after hundreds of years of soot settling.
O’Keeffe could’ve stayed in step with her early stylistic teachers,
we’d not see her botany, spacial views.
yes, Poets and Writers rise, fall, rise too.
Brokenness in dry socketed tears
seems to find solace
to hold a hand of another knowing the same, without a word a word is heard together
in a balm of healing allowing us to see a shooting star come from
behind the moon, again.
one thing you’ll not behold from forgers,
their mistakes in copying another’s brilliance.
