Image for the poem Portrait Of Bathsheba

Portrait Of Bathsheba

there is no one at the door  
but a portrait of Bathsheba  
speaking in my ear  
from the womb's stigmata    
with a culture of a vulture  
what is it about the o'clock  
when the hen  
does not recognize the egg  
or the dead know not the corpse  
nor the penis neath the wings  
in the grotto of bones  
Written by adagio
