Statue against a Clear Sky -
IX
Statue against a Clear Sky
Ashen man on ashen cliff above the salt halloo,
O ashen admiral of the hale, hard blue. ...
X
Statue against a Cloudy Sky
Scaffolds and derricks rise from the reeds to the clouds
Meditating the will of men in formless crowds.
XI
Land of Locust
Patron and patriarch of couplets, walk
In fragrant leaves heat-heavy yet nimble in talk.
XII
Land of Pine and Marble
Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints
Of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.
XIII
The Male Nude
Dark cynic, strip and bathe and bask at will.
Without cap or strap, you are the cynic still.
XIV
The Female Nude
Ballatta dozed in the cool on a straw divan
At home, a bit like the slenderest courtesan.
XV
Scene Fletrie
The purple dress in autumn and the belfry breath
Hinted autumnal farewells of academic death.
XVI
Scene Fleurie
A perfect fruit in perfect atmosphere.
Nature as Pinakothek. Whist! Chanticleer. ...
