white
towel
after Marthe Dressing, by Pierre
Bonnard
in
early morning after
ablutions
and harmony
sun
crests over peninsula, we
surround
with water the
ceremony
of sacred motions
cast
with consideration, her body
throws
light like love gives sound
musings
and wanders have
led
her to this tub with
porcelain
feet and fogged mirror
he
approaches from behind
silently
watching Queen in ritual
kisses
the top of her crowned head
refining
the unyielding elements, his
process
to shine the tarnish from her
necklace
and make accurate her
most intimate
moments.
