The Birth of Venus


The Birth of Venus, XIII


In my mirrored workshop, as you enter, you only hear, your eyes unaccustomed to the new.
So I tell of wanting white spread to spectrum feigned in black. And how from this


imposture
of an
egg that
mimics
bland
conventions
of geometry,
outside the
moving eye
of human
interlopers,
outside
the craw
of friendly
ravenous
birds,
outside
the spectral
shadows of
mere words,
will be born
a spectrum
queen.
