--Michael MageeHe is carrying his beloved Bellaabove the village green, tiltingher sideways like the prow of a ship,while he paints with the hoovesof a cow. Using the chimney steepleas his nib, he writes down the hour.A fish with wings flies by,violins play with their own bows,a pendulum clock is swinging abovethe sun with the aura of a candle.O, if you could hold it, encircling it all;it’s a world you could put your arms around.A gouache of never-ending sky,sea urchins in trills, rising into the etherwhere women grow like Russian nesting dollsand roosters crow to their glowing wives,while everyone sings to the windmill of naturein notes only a poet or a lover could decipher.
