The Art & Poetry of Mary Coleman

Today’s poem was inspired by my favorite painting of all time, The Dog by Goya. It’s been three days forming in my brain and I finally got it all down this morning. Stanzas of it came to me at random, not necessarily in the order the poem is written.

Here’s the painting it was inspired by:

I don’t really have a favorite restaurant. My mood changes and I want different food depending on how I feel that day.

I did 3 miles of running today. Took my time getting to it, but I eventually got out there and did the thing. Felt good. Hopefully it helps my anxiety levels today. I didn’t feel so heavy this run and I kept a decent pace of slightly under 10 minutes a mile.
