escaping the frame

Post by Matty11 » Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:11 pm

as the jug pours/ ice shatters/ glimpse
into the maze/ of his mind/ unframed/
translucence/slices of cucumber/ cut for
tired eyes/ cool and fresh/ until in his
striped shirt/ she stirs/ smiling casually
loosening/ a button or two/ stretching
soft white curves/ to shape what can't
be said/ sculptured and statuesque/
Demoiselle d'Avignon/ priced
staring vacant/ through the canvas/
allure of unbridled posture/ beyond
the frame/ gestures into the room/
Picasso/ with appetite/ waking/ and her
poised/ masked/ primitive/ savage
aura of light

Enjoyed this Phil.
Don't usually like excessive punctuation...but the forward slashes really work well here.
And the title is a wonderful description of many of his works.
