Analysis of the Rose as Sentimental Despair
Twombly makes your body
a stranger: you become her: the rose that unravels
the wound of loneliness that remains unspeakable
and what I imagine heartache must look like
on a tightly-pulled canvas.
a number of strangers
enter under a condition of stillness. of silence.
no one speaks but wanders, looking. you and I
for the love of it: we walk like mystics
in a trance, spin like dervishes in silence—
every sound will stop if you let it.
really I admit
my knowledge of your body is only this:
the sense of a figure in a midtown gallery,
skylight fragments pooling softly on the side
of your face. and each time it is like this:
the rose bleeds out
light, as we conjure it, begins to settle—
every aspect of this body gives in to it.
