Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe by JTParreira

You made your lips more real

with lipstick, your red

lips

swallow a balcony

full of eyes.

Sylvia and Ted

When you were with me

I never could die

My eyes wandered

without you, my fear had noises

all the steps, the shadows

were solid things

when I wrote the death

it scratched out sheets of paper

but when you were with me

I was for lasting the entire life

Your legs

supported my falls.

The Picasso Conspiracy

With the infinite in a notebook
an eye
that arrives of the distance
Picasso cuts
the forms truly, bodies pulled out
from the volume
for all the beauty of the lines
its things with creaking of lungs breathe.

(Thomas-John Parr)
