IN ART AS IN LIFE
There are girls with tattoos
that go to places you cannot see
for clothes, or they without mirrors
There is art stolen by Nazis
that has never been recovered
There are more
openings than you can attend
more miles
in the Louvre, Prada and Hermitage
Here on the fridge, home from grade 2
notice the use of color and light
SAGRADO FAMILIA
It took Antoni Gaudi to see
that if a tree can be a cathedral
a cathedral can also be a tree
That it still stands is proof
that the branches from its trunks
can hold the canopy of roof
It is trite and true to say
that Gaudi built poetry
and I’d love to build a poem
where one could come and sit
as softly on a hardwood pew
in a place so radiant lit
ALWAYS FOR THE FIRST TIME
for Andre Breton
Mary Oliver has written another great poem,
That is to be expected you say
she is a great poet after all
It’s only Houdini
getting out of his chains again
no big deal, he is Houdini isn’t he
Oh no my friends
Notwithstanding there might be
a little less effort each time
a little less pain and pushing
at the beginning and the end
a miracle is still a miracle
no matter how often it happens
Take birth for instance
