from The Late Parade
Rien ne me rend plus heureux que de sortir dans la campagne
et de peindre ce que je vois.
— Henri Rousseau
Aglitter in the dromedary dawn
with cold rubles, the old cyclone

a mix of corsage and assemblage,
or coconut if you can imagine it.
A wax cylinder in the wind was

Brutal and cunning, but unknown, I love cyclists.
So a cloud curtailed me. And I awoke horizon.
The result
small change — reconditioning nor up what?
