bellows

in bold
slashes of color
broad landscapes
political
and benign,
dense
bodies, nude
upon the pier.
boxers in liquid
violence
leaning
towards
one another.
the city of
new york
at the turn
of the century.
some field
somewhere.
an armless
soldier.
or a girl on
a pedestal holding
flowers.
bellows
tells you
the story.
gives you a
reporter's look
into what
goes on.
embellished
with his brush.
and he too
in the corner
bald and
wide eyed
taking it all in
for the next
time at the easel.
