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)

I do.

Her
Less.
Was a disappointment
We say it.
Study nature.
Or

Towering.
Mispronounced

She
Was
Astonishing
To
No
One
For
Fun
Study from nature.
I
Am
Pleased
Thoroughly
I
Am
Thoroughly
Pleased.
By.
It.
It is very likely.
They said so.
Oh.
I want.
To do.
What
Is
Later
To
Be
Refined.
By
Turning.
Of turning around.
I will wait.

Poems of a line

The moon inside of a wash tub.

The leaves hit the wind.

Steinway & Sons

Three legs of the Steinway
raise a symphony of birds
in the veins above of the floor

the elegant legs
of the Steinway
as a woman

whom we listened
slowly
in its black dress.

(J.T.Parreira)

Mondrian's tree

At day when the Piet Mondrian’s tree
was of the red size of the branches
the wind
entangled in the calm branches
Mondrian shows to us
the interior of nothing.
