"Tightropes of the Three Graces" 

Tightropes
for hanging clothes
on a line 

each piece 
pegged wooden
held between closed fences

misfortune's breeze lifts
sleeves like covers
pointing the way home

"petites éruptions" 

life pops 
oven red 
poppy petals

opium
eyes smoking
jade reflections

deep

blue ocean 

milky skin soft 
and sweet as 
juicy peaches

"Birth of Venus" 

The yo yo

Footles, as one, regarding Spring by Sandro Botticelli



Sandro
Does Know:

Venus-
Genus

Darkened,
Starkened

West wind
Chlore sinned;

Shrewd glance,
Now dance

Bough, her
Flower;

Three Grace
At base

Time sass,

Laurels

Looks left,
Bereft,

Stupid

As love
Above

High arts,
Babe farts

Passion's
Rations.
