Picasso on Picasso

Post by revolutionrabbit » January 21st, 2011, 2:32 am

Picasso on Picasso
woman on woman
hallucinating on
beastly on priestly
what art becomes
when Camus sees
the artist at his work
Paris in a lit flower
Rome in a de Chirico
shadow ripped tower
horizon on horizon
perspective on zero
Blake on Blake
awoken from awake
his magic flame
lit from a drop of dew
revolution of the hour
eternity of the brush
stroke or mark of pen
in some Rimbaudian
opium den the when
where how forgotten
but not so forbidden
hidden on hidden
is then is now Lorca
in New York a like zen
sleeping gypsy sleeps
paint on canvas sweeps
tears across no man's land
great leaves of green hand
holds the lantern of Lamantia
Dali on Dali lifts the weeping
clock over the abyss of time
sublime mercury drips in
Picasso's slumbering cry
through the waves of a salt kiss
