Jeffree Skewes #30 Still life


It could be claimed this genre
and its codes lead to defining
some current tableaux
table-set culture 
some apples a pot or two etc
placement rules composition

contrast balance or harmony
framed arrangements just so
act like music  
shifting notes by increments
some fruit this way or that
a passage more meaningful

stories have balance too or not
their jugs grammar and plots
a choreographic glory
facts become fiction
shifting position so slightly
truth or suspense displaced

some words some fruit
a librettist a song some
tall stories recomposed


still life
