HOME ON RUE DU BOURG-TIBOURG, by CLARENCE MAJOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Buffet gray marble with a deadness
First Line: Buffet gray marble with a deadness
Buffet gray marble with a deadness.
It's a frantic place aglitter with rudeness.
I give myself to it anyway.
It's a valley in a haze of Lido legs.
I take my coffee on rue de Rivoli.
Against the gray, red is intense.
Surfaces swell and crack.
The gray breaks and bleeds
into the frankness of red.
But don't think you've found a logical
extension of Expressionism.
