Cezanne Jelly and Paper Kites
by
Albert DeGenova
in
our Cezanne season when reason was treason
blue
was the color for days and nights
jelly
on crackers the Tao of our Zen
the
then of amen again and again
undulating
shadows red lava light
that
Cezanne season when reason was treason
sunshine
like thunder begun and undone
purple
and yellow crepe paper kites
jelly
on crackers the Tao of our Zen
you
were the one the one the one
to
bless the black cat with child sight
a
Cezanne season when reason was treason
I
painted poems with naked pen
to
remember black coffee mornings and nights
jelly
on crackers the Tao of our Zen
and
now our cold toes touch almost like then
when
we danced in crackling firelight
that
was our season when reason was treason
jelly
on crackers the Tao of our Zen
