Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

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.

Caren Krutsinger October 29, 2020 at 4:19 AM Heading for my fourth dictionary now for the meaning of this one: "Xoloitzcuintlis" What dictionaries do you use? Kim Rodrigues October 29, 2020 at 5:34 AM Merriam Webster and internet. It was the type of dog Frida owned.

Victor Buhagiar October 25, 2020 at 11:43 PM I found the meaning of some exotic words you used. Many interpretations really. You gave us food for thought. ~~ Kim Rodrigues October 26, 2020 at 4:02 AM Thank you!
