NOTES FOR MARC CHAGALL

--

Under the kissing trees

boys and purple chickens

run through old dandelions

(a world of grandmothers).

-

The town clock sports a red face

and a mouth full of grapes.

-

Midnight: tents are being pitched

beyond cornfields and castles.

-

Restless in warm vineyards,

between black bread houses,

peasant girls with circus thighs

cry in the wings of lilies.
