  • Beauty Is The Line

    Beauty is the line;
    the delineation, the conformation,
    the defining from the tumult of the scene.
    Beauty is defined.
    
    Beauty is what is lusted for.
    Beauty is what is never obtained
    for the line is changed by the taking.
    
    Beauty is not virtue.
    Beauty is the line of the bowed head
    and cupped hands in the presence of virtue.
    
    Beauty is an ugly word.
    Say it. It has been destroyed for us, by us;
    its connotations pimped, fouled.
    
    Sensuous is the line.
    Say it! Is it not ....beautiful? Ha! Ha!
    Feel the lines your lips define. Say it!
    
    Sensuous is the word
    that defines the line; the inner line
    from upper thigh to Medial Malleolus.
    
    Sensuous are the lines
    that define receding, undulating ridges
    falling away from green to blue to gray mist.
    
    Sensuous is the line.
    Sensuous is the line by what it defines.
    Sensuous is the line
    
    
    
    

  • who knows?

    Goldfinch ravishing the sunflowers!  Too much yellow!

    Too loud; his song demanding…screeching:  Me! Me!

    Entertaining, but not subtle enough for beauty?  Maybe.

    Though there are truths he does parade; offering for a fee.

    Can beauty only be the delicate; truth only glaring?

    “The truth is ugly!” “You can’t handle the truth!”

    A curve of flesh, real, depicted or imagined can still

    Elicit bliss; the intuited joy of the incorruptible line.

    Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Iliotbial, Peroneus enfolded;

    The legs perfection of muscle, tendon, bone and skin.

    Middle-aged crisis guy entranced by a woman’s legs;

    Her elongated neck’s porcelain skin, shiver releasing.

    Does need dictate the beauty we see…becoming our truths?

    Truth might be beauty; perceived beauty our only truths.
