The Artist Surprised in His Studio

      "In this drawing of an apostle's nirvana
      I gave a charming native girl christ's
      fivefold power hand, a santa rea item.
      The bone dice of fate are chiselled on her skin,
5     her breasts are docile rounds to those twinned squares,
      her pubic matt preadolescently slim. Note
      the use of black, another power totem,
      which oil slicks in India ink the right or damned
      hand side of the visual field; out of its night soils
10    burst pumpkins, and watermelons halved
      for the easy licks of the naked girl who lies
      with crossed arms at their side. Calabeza bianco
      says the stylized head joined to the anointed
      torso which hovers clubfooted in this dream
15    which I fancy St. Jerome on an off day may have painted."
