White on White: Kazimir Malevich, 1918

We pick up

the pieces

and put them back

together washed

and squared

and its

never

what it

was

but

who's

to say

that what

was

was

worth

keeping

anyway?

and the what

that remains ajar

the paste, polishes and paints

a more accurate picture

in the frames

of Yesterday...

The canvas's never blank

but is always man made

and she stands before Michaelangelo

where neither can speak

because the point of reference

divides

the two and the three

a spectrum of light

beamed

in excavation

between fossil and bone

the mind and the body

parting like foam

in the mouth

where life is

escaping

the blast...
