Thank you, Mark Antony Rossi, of Ariel Chart for publishing my poem.

Tilting


He carries oblique remarks

upon the canvas of his lips.

He paints them as disordered fact.

He paints them as distorted fact.

He slants the truth; as reckless

as concert crowds

after the last note is played.

To meet the artist as a truthful man

has long been my wish.

If art is meant to be beautiful, 

let it dwell safely in his mouth.
