The Dora Maar Affair
The brown rabbit with thin ears
sat upon a blue circle and took
a curiously surrealist look around,
finding several orange crates
and a pink stamp stuck onto
a small corner of the neighborhood bar.
There, the minotaur grabbed his fine glass and took
an extremely long pull,
swallowing his pride with his famous bull
on a hard chair inside the Deux Minots cafe
on the famed Left Bank of Paris
where Madam Figaro threw her bleeding knife
between the fingers of her shutter hand.
Her brightly-colored nails were trimmed and lady-like
as she cleaned the white tablecloth with her anxious sighs.
North of the Louvre in the 8th arrondissement
sat this private moment of two artistic minds
with French red wines
between an overcoat and a scarf.
His thick layer of oil paint on the clear glass
etched a deep thought and with an easy laugh, it became a negative
and a muse was born.
