Artistry



the brush down her cheek
after they kissed
blended her impressions
with his Monet fingers

fragments snapped
fractures through her brain
when he divided her dress
with Picasso palms

her surreal liquidities
melted
where his Dali lips
dared to taste

and he cut
a Van Gogh heart
that her astonished voice
would not reclaim

This is simply lovely. The words. The image. And the image evoked by the words.
