Poems by raphy(m): 9:49pm On Jul 04, 2006 |
The three slender poplar trees outside my window, almost joined at the root, reminded me of the three Graces in Botticelli's "Allegory of Spring," even their fragile leaves looking somehow like Renaissance hair. So today when a stiff wind snapped one of them in half, I wondered if the other two would feel bereft, as I did, debris of leaf and twig burying their delicate feet. Ridiculous of course. And anyway it's the design I'll miss, the way the three of them together balanced the composition. How could I know that Botticelli's Cupid pointing his mischievous arrows wasn't as dangerous as Zephyr — fat cheeks blown out in windy fury? That wind has reached across the canvas in squalls and hurricanes, all the way here to these Maryland hills |
