she would find bird wings
with the tips of her fingernails
and I would hold
the impossible angle
or impale myself on them
sweat threatening to loosen
my single grip
and the line of her love
zipping through
her veins and into mine
I was almost breathing
almost.

the length of gravity
along my bones
found fulcrum and
held strong before
the mirror of her eyes
and when I was older
she said I was the clay
and when I was older
the bones of my wings
were far and away
and when I was older
I would gather all her many hours
toss them over my shoulder
and betray her.

Just think, when you were four, if you would have bought one of these, you could be living in that dream house..

The fortunes of Bouguereau (pronounced boo-grow) reached a low ebb about 1970 when his work could be had at auction for under a thousand dollars. About that time ordinary folks started to realize what a darn good artist the guy was. Year by year his prices doubled--recently a work (illustrated) went for $3,500,000. Not that prices mean much, but even institutions like the MOMA in New York, that for years had been embarrassed to have Bouguereaus in the basement, now dragged them upstairs to be displayed front and center. It's all such an interesting comment on art criticism and art fashion.
