Ode to the pioneers of modern art .
How their spirits
Revelled in the freedom
Of imagining -
colours and lines,
That are just themselves,
And yet magentas magic,
Fires us -
Seas of ultramarine
And white wisps of waves -
Delicate chinoiserie,
Taunting galligraphics,
Tachists gestured slash-
Explosions of colour are the colours themselves-
Purple is freed from funereal pomp,
Black becomes black
White is what it always was-
And yellow shows no fear -
A child with a paintbox in its hands!
Immured from idolatry,
Forms and colours create
Their own wild destiny
A contour that is not a tree,
Pigment that is not a sky -
A form that is not a breast
Or hillside-
And yet, the essence of all things.
