Best Miro Poems
A flower smiles
A tree shrugs off the golden bird.
Over the hill the red moon shines
And the blue sun is ashamed
To rise so late.
I seek to hold the nonsense
In my head and speak with
Tongues of liquid fire as
Time flows sideways back
From disaster to apocalypse.
And then I wake
and all
Is as it was.
Too soon to sleep again.

BEING JOAN MIRO
All the common fears and complaints of life
may be put to canvas
one need only tap the gift
Of looking into
of looking through
That imperceptible crowd of creative gravity
where might be found
Things no-things no-forms
afloat whirling or resting
In the unconscious mansions
Find the brush’s will not your own
Groups of many colors appear
Scattered or blended
Shapes of no earthly form
Infinite the possibilities
Put here-and-now aside
Let the brush have its will
