Proportions
Maggie Devers
I went to Catalonia the week past
And can't get Gala out of my mind
It's as if Dali is inhabiting me,
And all I think about is my muse
She was luminous with her swans
And then I saw them stuffed in the library.
That was a bit much,
But it all was
That's why we like it.
Atomic Leda, what have we made?
Suspended, untouching forever
Floating on the planes to sea
