Sharpen

From the book "Selected Poems 2002-2017"

 

​

Such an arrogant image, so proud,
so elegant, the arbiter of destiny.
Every line speaks to supremacy out loud.
Echoes of obedience yield a blush of irony.

Sharpening the detail, a focus to quip
and whip up the ardor, kindle the spark.
The colors display their unlimited grip
to announce an unforgettable mark.

It takes time, the build-up dominates
the discussion, never an easy task
to please and charm. The essence resonates,
twists, highlighting the charades in the mask.

Clear away the blur etched in a fading light.
Distorted harmony reaches a new height.
