It’s guillotine images abound for me today! I really like this one… for its rhythm, images and ambiguity. There are signs of life and death and the last line with the mention of Matisse and the speaker– who may be Matisse or the artist of the poem. Gosh, I think too much. Thanks for following my blog! I enjoy your poetry and art.
Hi —
Thanks for your kind response. I am fond of your art. I am not sure how to describe it, but I like it. It establishes its own style, which as I am sure you know is an important and a good thing in modern art.
Thanks again for your response.

Are you saying that one must die before the art lives? Something like the stories of El Greco, van Gogh, and Poe, the writer? What a thought provoking poem. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
