sunk in, on the bay-
A house is by the sea.
wayward waves find ways
make beauty, nothing, be.
marble- Italy,
paintings, woodwork from France.
Aesthete- literally,
by the force of finance.
a conquistador-
dreams of moorish gardens.
waters swell and soar-
pride may find no pardon.
new inheritance-
our tabula rasa-
Art is arrogance:
erecting Pietàs.
columns bearing naught-
material monarchs,
our frenzy so fraught
To revive our birthmarks.
a pastiche of power
land of plastic flowers.

the post-modernist mode?
tyranny of form-
no sky-mind symbol’s ode-
nothing left of norms-
we do not make beauty
cerebral triumph-
soul without duty-
lines- glass’s client.
world’s truth is abstracted-
colorwork on skin-
lucid- not distracted-
we create new djinns!
and the eye perceives
in coherent void!
filled- the still whore conceives
we- more and more joyed!
praise the picture-pensive,
the choice-creator
capital intensive,
the mind-modeler.
I take your sense-source-seed
for my now, knowing need.

we are the object
stripped of skin- analysis-
layer the flesh back on composite- synthesis.
break the bone-locker into little pieces-
take a picture- analysis- and
throw the bonemeal
on her synthesized skin.
watch the way she puts on makeup- object-
and pick out her teeth one by one.
date, number, shape- filed- analysis.
give them back to rest on her flayed bosom synthesis.
rip out her earrings and send it
down her throat- x-ray it- analysis-
and make her play in her own
fecal matter. synthesis.
object- analysis- synthesis.
Eyes, watched by eyes , layered with eyes.
that make images, understand images, see the images.
