The Mag - 160

I dwell in Possibility -

A fairer House than Prose-

More numerous of Windows -

Superior, for Doors.

  - Emily Dickinson

 

 

 

 

Faun, Horse, and Bird - 1936

Pablo Picasso

BARBERINI FAUN

Awakes

 

Lost in the Mountain Wilds

 where barren rocks and forest kiss,

From the Temple of Pan he emerges

drenched in beastly babel

and other somber cries.

 

He submerges

beneath birds in hollow cedars.

One's thoughts light, like bulbs with wings 

as troubadours and dancing masters

arrive on gallant steeds.

 

Whilst playing pipes for muse-worthy tales

and songs of toads in boats

 half-man and half-toads

 bearing fertile glens

rebirthing for sometime or another.
