Feast in the House of Simon, 1610, El Greco
Let green wicker basket
a bottle of homemade wine
yields to thoughtful talk
not plupped yet guests.
The fallen asleep city
misses untying the strips
of dusty centuries
with slick manners;
the mystery,
locked
in the tower of
hidden geometry.
A small apple of discord
hasn't been squeezed.
The light of beholder is cloaked.
All fuss
- later.

Enjoyed the image of the small apple of discord that was not squeezed. You really have written some fine lines from these wordle words.
ReplyDeleteI have always been impressed with El Greco for producing such fine experimental art 400 years before the rush in "untying the strips of dusky centuries".
ReplyDeleteAll fuss later indeed, I like this poem a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love it all, but....WOW, that second stanza!
ReplyDeleteThe fallen asleep city

of dusty centuries....ha i like... and there seems way too much hidden geometry in some places if you ask me...
Locked in the tower of hidden geometry...oh I like that...
