The Artist
by Kurt Broz (Me)
I fly over red-sand cliffs—
my shell weighs me down—
yet I find her in the canyon
silently waiting, unclothed,
sensual legs branch with
prop roots
into delicate fissures and broken
glass on the mountainside…
I lower wheels and land
inches from her,
she wilts
her turgid cells expel
a thousand lifetimes of dreams
out over the shifting dunes
of soft breasts
where I tried to hide,
where I ran
her fingers over her tiny,
hollow bones
I burrow back down
away from her,
eagle of the great expanse,
my eyes perform apoptosis
at the ruffling
of her feathers…
She mixes oil paints in the palms
of my hands,
and I burn again.
