FOUND POEM FOR THE CUBISTS
(After Max Weber’s “Haze”, “Weather Report”, and “The Eye Moment”, published in Cubist Poems (1914)
Warmed, heated, dried, burnt
We drank talked through nights
Breezes, breezes
Revolution through composition
Eyes, eyes on the prize
The prize is an art revolution
We pressed sweated by day
Bolder, bolder
We rode wrote painted talked
Contoured the tables with cubism
Cubism, futurism, the avant garde
Night and day we drank talked
Haze, haze
Apricots, apples, glass, bags, flags
The prize of the revolution: a still life

Whatever your beliefs or non-beliefs, I hope you experience hope this #Easter 😃
"HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me."
- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

"TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS PAINTING There is nothing

"TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS PAINTING
There is nothing like a drop of wine
a little song, a little rhyme
a bit of dancing from time to time!
For what are basic human needs?
A place to be. A place to feed.
Safe company. Some self-esteem.
To be the best we can possibly be.
You share your lives in song and wine.
Cheers to you! Love, a future time."

ODE TO AN UNKNOWN ARTIST
"The table laid just so,
the way our glances go
from flower to vase to melon,
makes me think you were a woman."

VISITING RENOIR
I called it a blue and white ceramic.
You called it a faïence jardinière.
I called Paul Berard’s home a farmhouse.
You called it a pied-à-terre.
The tapestry, you noted, was crimson red.
Did you notice, like my lips? I said.
We painted chalk cliffs, poppy fields, shingled beaches.
I spoke of love. You spoke of peaches.

The Winter Pear
Is always Age severe?
Is never Youth austere?
Spring-fruits are sour to eat;
Autumn’s the mellow time.
Nay, very late in the year,
Short day and frosty rime,
Thought, like a winter pear,
Stone-cold in summer’s prime,
May turn from harsh to sweet.
-William Allingham (1824-1889), Poem in the Public Domain
