Chiaroscuro

Goya and El Greco, Gaugin and Van Gogh Painted light in the darkness, chiaroscuro Imagine we were a painting A woman and a man, Two lovers on a canvas On is white, one is black. Darkness and light will be married tonight in chiaroscuro Your body on mine - two colors combined in chiaroscuro Vermeer and Velazquez, Rembrandt and Rousseau Painted perfect union, chiaroscuro The man and the woman The knife and the spoon The xylem and the phloem The sun and the moon Chorus How we lived a secret life from racist eyes You said I couldn't understand you anyway I tried But in this moment together, in our secret unity Our skins become the still life, our souls epiphany
