Il Giardino

Topics: classic

Cloves on the table.     (jardin parfumel     are like ladyslippers     with the jargon     of their sweetmeats     preserved in     aromatic slabs     about a garden wall.     Spanish ivy     is the pastrami     of this terrace    -     thick, white walls,     Hispanic style,     unite with prim elasticity     to quicken     Picasso's sunshine     like a ukulele     strumming the grave.
