A BIRD PURSUES A BEE <br />A bird pursues a bee and kisses her, <br />flight of fancy by Miró. Unprimed <br />the canvas kisses are a cat whose purr <br />excites my mistress less than words I've rhymed <br />and sent her through the cyberair like kisses <br />Miro's bird blows upon a bee. The painter <br />expressses my affection, but he misses <br />the metaphor my mistress thinks is quainter. <br /> <br />Inspired by the very first painting in the Miró exhibition at MoMa, an unprimed canvas with a yellow swirling loop, above which Miró writes: “Un oiseau poursuit une abeille et la baisse.” <br /> <br />11/19/08<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bird-pursues-a-bee/
