you are multitudes

from Excerpts from the Frida Dialogues



Inscriptions

I never painted dreams. I painted my reality. - Frida Kahlo

You chart a solo progress with paint
leak an eloquence
of wings across your brow
Pose a glance
that withers optimism each time
while the abundant clock of hair
is dressed, braided, worn loose or cropped

You arrange the wild she by instinct
an aloof comfort that's much less cynical
with a cigarette or scissors in your hand
Brushstrokes eschew acceptance
as your body of work reclaims
what life has devoured



Column

All of my paintings are about sorrow. - Frida Kahlo

Life as well as love
rips and cracks you open,
yet you remember to paint
You in a blue dress favourite
or from the Blue House
with your monkeys and parrots
Or you on all those beds

You watch the rank pit seep
wear column and brace
to paint from bedrock an art
that eats up each new effort
as it easily outlasts your tender emotions
