Rivera Remarks Ekphrastically
Oh Frida, dear, again
you have cut yourself, this time
breast high squarely on
and down your torso,
a rectangular gash we
can see through to one
of all the three breasts
emerging from sand and sea
and rock and so to
the vine and your brow
and your darkness worn like hair
as you lie staring
like a toppled rock
never would but, hey, this is
expressionism, no?
Maybe you're naive
but as you say, you are not
ever surreal.

The chicken crossed the road. That's poultry in motion.
