The same Madonnas,
the same pitying faces,
the same arched necks
of the same saints...
Clear it all
for a new palette.
Stone over pine blaze,
fringed gentian blot.
Broken-columned sun,
splayed in glade sand.
Drift water stroke.
Rescind
the School of Athens,
the Madonnas,
the arched necks.
What can they say
about lilies plunged
in the moon's syrup?
