A late-night for you, resurrected from an old journal and some deep dark memories.

nightmare, I know you best

So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum
in painted quiet and concentration
keeps pouring milk day after day
from the pitcher to the bowl
the World hasn't earned
the world's end.

-Wisława Szymborska, "Vermeer"
trans. Clare Cavanagh
[Johannes Vermeer, The Milkmaid” 1657, seen at the @rijksmuseum]

"Yet who, even in the thundering strains of , shall sing the marble meadows gathered upon the mighty walls and spreading pavement of the lofty church? Mining [tools of] toothed steel have cut these from the green flanks of Carystus and have cleft the speckled Phrygian stone, sometimes rosy mixed with white, sometimes gleaming with purple and silver flowers." 2/3

Ekphrasis is not only to compose a text inspired by the artwork itself, but also to be carried off by the uncontainable surge of memory and affect, judgment and speculation.

You never know where poems come from, which is why what seemed like a wasted day of scrolling through endless art pics was not wasted at all. I kept going back to one, drawn by its shape & fooled myself into writing a poem by pretending to write prose. Today I think it’s a poem!
