Juan José
Gárate Claveros' 'Banquete Interrupido'
is
it a good day
for
the bull
who
interrupts the banquet?
dark figure
tail up
all horns out of sunlight
scatters a trestle for fruit
a still life
under the table
or leapt on top
what stockings, lace!
cinnabar velveteen
so little disarray
to this haberdasher's catalogue
ears covered
so there's just the image
wigs and hats and furniture
calories burnt off with stress
every hand expressive
to show how hands are drawn
evil
eye over the doorway
Madonna
for calm
in
her dark niche above
stone
impassive
as
the bull is ancient
what pleasure in this stillness!
in the moment
we
none
of us
know
what we do
The arrested movement is hilarious!
ReplyDelete"what pleasure in this stillness" yes, indeed
