New painter

A new painter lives in this village.

He will be remembered because

of excellent skills in the morning daylight.

Turkish and Dutch boys of men have tried

to paint the colours of the market windows.

It is an old way of recycling, in the attitude

of the farms in the fields, wide open houses!

I know, for a long time that my grandfather

was a silent modest man because he knew, why.

She paints in colours you can’t see or feel.

It is a healing way of saying that I love life.

He keeps on looking out his small room.
