When the Sky

[mnaz]

when the sky gets all gauguin, and the post-post-impressionists have been dreaming too much, as is their fatal flaw, i just remember the iliad and james joyce and the pointlessness of a loud color like a daisy, and i remember the shipyards and their gunmetal gray, a much more solid approach.

"a red dog!"
the high faluttin'
lady said
as pgo put his soul
on the line to live
like a savage in
the marquesas
symbolist painter
"maximo"
the child of
pissaro and the stock
market exchange
a sailor who fell into grace
beneath a thatched roof.....
