Poetry: Arthouse Movies

Print

Your body is a gallery.

Let me walk your halls.

Your body is a gallery,

let me paint the walls

 

Wood frames the artwork

of your eyes — Sloshes of

golden sunset lashes

burn fields of mascara, wheat

crashing as you cry.

 

Your body is a gallery,

i need a tour.

 

I set up exhibits and

open the

velvet ropes thongs

to view your brilliance,

as you unveil

the sunrise of such deep thought.

 

Your body is a gallery,

and i want to curate you.

 

But i could wait for the

final show of your beauty.

If you could wait for my talent

to grow, so that

my skills could

describe you

with some proficiency.

 

Your body is a gallery,

and i'm just an artist looking

for space to hang

my head.

(From the collection Delirium, Delirium.)
