Kasimir Malevich


black and white
old photograph on my desk
red and black
Russian abstract painting

yellow
certainly NOT the sun
(yellow from a tube?)
green and gold
something i've forgotten
(something about the spring
and that boy who used to like me)
we hitched to mystic when he was 12
and snuck into the sea port like two spies
checking out the old boats
walking around with whisky in a honey bare
me pretending to be his father
i'll never forget it
