LES VERGERS EN FLEUR

 


 Canvas 1

   At the restaurant table, wine glasses upside down. 
   Turmeric, ginkgo. Orange light. Enamored of
   starlings, grackles. Undergrowth. Point to Japanese
   models. Chestnut tree in blossom. Diagonal bracing.
   A cottage in Cordeville. I am working in a grim rage.
   July in Chaponaval. Unrest on the left side, picture
   composed in a classical manner. Hills of Meudon on
   the horizon. Now I am working on a field of poppies
   and alfalfa
. Journey to the South bears fruit.
   Return to Paris on foot, wearing a smock of blue
   zinc.

   Space and objects do not correspond.

 

 

 

 
Canvas 2

   In Arles and Saint-Rémy, citron light
   at the foundations. Economies of
   green. Cut back the picture edges.
   Look into the landscape through
   trees. Tige d’amandier, brought into
   blossom in a glass of water.
   Souvenir de Mauve. Brush strokes
   flicker. Not yet wheatfield with crows,
   bruised violet sky. Lower edges of
   lightning.

   Fringe of the void rising.
