art history – Selected haiku

27 March 2021 – II

Brooks: damnatio
memoriae’d, first by chalk,
and later by rain

put all your weight on
one leg. not for Twister, it’s
contrapposto pose!

…oft misremembered
as “chiasmus pose,” at least
inside of my head

post-impressionist
pointillism: paint dots blend
to become image

Georgia O’Keefe:
painter, lover of: desert
life, death; vaginas
