History in Art by Maggie Devers
from One Poem Only
History in Art Maggie Devers My husband tells me I have a twentieth century assAnd that’s a type of poem.Rubens put touches of red on his angels' rears,Literally rogue on cheeksAnd I feel that’s what this world is missing—More blushed bottomsMore naked debaucheryMore holy storiesWe laugh out loud at some of the babies,Old man newborn is forever the haha trope,The mortality, ever life, after life, reincarnation, universal onenessCreated for us by some Flemish dudeAppeasing his benefactor.Before time’s upAnd we walk down the mountain back to life.
