Strange Art
by
Gardenia tilts forward
distorting a world-weary face:
yellowed skin somewhere
between white, black, nothing…
Ornament that hails
also, from that dark continent.
Blossoming, white veitchi
emits jasmine off doubled petals
that tremble against
her tortured phrasings.
Tale of exclusion
and murder manifest
images of Magnolias
bending under added weight.
Buds litter the red clay.
Different Order
Feathers sprout
where scales were rooted
downy plumage stokes
heat for the reptilian form.
A brace allows
the facility of flight
a mishap could quell
an instinctive state of being.
Cells active within barbs
reflect colors in light
against the retina: iridescence.
Color relies on variance in movement.
Two dissimilar notes
propel out its syrinx,
vowels vibrate
through the brushes.
Doubled melody draws
a formidable line; heat
fans through the marsh.
Invention
Clay or wax,
pliable sources ensure
the longevity of the record.
An interval of history
subsists in verdant Altamira.
Miraculous displays proliferate:
war of words, conflicts to extend
territorial lines & omnipresent
rites of passage.
Plumes jut out
blackened heads projecting
eyes that burn feral.
Language bleeds through characters.
Intrusion
(edict shakes the grotto);
a hapless mortal indeed.
Crime of eyeing
A disciplined maid
(muscular, unknown to man):
pursuit of the hunt
and infinite, white virtue.
Flush of red
colors her ample cheeks
casting down over
rose-heavy mounds.
Patroness of Troy
and Priam's dark line;
a bearing without temperance.
A remote stare
morphs limbs into haunches,
stout and agile.
Hooves tap awkwardly.
