Kit Kelen #50 - ekphrastic - August Macke's 'Hussars on sortie/ Husars al galope', 1913



August Macke's 'Hussars on sortie/ Husars al galope', 1913

premonition of an ending world

at a gallop
hussars, horses
come apart

herbiage
and distance
swords, pikes
lines

the wheel of colour
sheers off limbs

wheat, is it, wrecked
pasture laid waste

blood is just one hue
scratch under the machine

there is a flare
reins to the fore

these riders have no face
