How I Would Paint Happiness


Something sudden, a windfall,
a meteor shower. No—
a flowering tree releasing
all its blossoms at once,
and the one standing beneath it
unexpectedly robed in bloom,
transformed into a stranger
too beautiful to touch.


Lisel Mueller, from “Imaginary Paintings.”
Art: Guido Cadorin.
