POLAR LIGHTS
1894–1895

i'd **** for this painting...

william turner?
the Westminster Bridge?
what a callous
plagiarism...

     notably the lacking green,
and the colors of midnight...
  boorish...
like all of English philosophy...
perhaps the poetics...
but when
it comes to philosophy or painting?

the english exaggerate
their... expertise of the sciences...
you certainly can't own
philosophy or painting...
  not, a chance...
in the living hell...
you think you are ruling,
Lucifer of...

          *******...
i'm being polite...
not a chance in hell...
      no...
   the English countryside was and will
always remain too pristine...
mind you...
  i'm a beggar...
a fox passed me shy of a meter,
and i didn't paint it...

       i wrote a poem,
but prior to: ******* charged at it,
to divorce it from
piercing a
        gesticulating at my cat...
with my neighbor's dog...
so much for the painting,
enough:
to allocate the life lived...
a heartbeat...
that...
thank god...
     misses the enclosure of
some variant of
hieroglyphics.
