No Painting


A black mixture:
Chromite, manganese, and magnesium,
On a tile
In the flames,
Will create an image
Under a transparent glaze;
A narrative with colors.

Chromite, manganese, and magnesium,
The black mixture
Oh…how many images were created out of you
How many things can be drawn with you
However, up to a certain point
To the limit of “No Painting”
