Swords

More than ever
freeze a rose in cement and what does it conjure
imagine, ur dreams coming true
swords lying in rows
swords across a body in a bed
tidy, light, delicate
don't be scared, Turn over the next card
and the next
he said, move move move
spy him behind the palm fronds
Hiding Again

The Annunciation, Fra Angelico, c. 1426. I saw it somewhere on the internet. I loved it so much. I walked into a room at the Prado museum in Madrid and it was there, on the wall, unexpected.
