A Year Under Watercolors

There's a particular heart that stands out. Its appearance is more like watercolors rather than a blood pumping organ. You can see over lapping colors, fading into each other, but leaving behind messy and noticeable strokes. Getting darker and darker, as if to keep escaping, keep layering, keep complicating. No matter how many times the brush is picked up or how desperately the holder wishes to disappear and allow consumption to corrupt, a heart can never be painted dark enough with anything to disappear, and more often than not, the heart will find a lighter release. Spilt water isn't always planned, but sometimes it's needed in order to loosen rooted pigments to reveal new shades.
