Gravity of a Surrealist
arched mirror on the cold stone,
blackglorious dress,
Xoloitzcuintlis at heel.
quiet reflection,
forfeiting Frida’s apparition
beneath her underclothes.
her fate was switched
from doctor to artist
painfully so
she’s pretty with eyes closed,
heavy-petaled headgear.
Diego paints ash on canvas,
surrealist unibrow lifts —
Frida’s suffering relinquished.
