naked
Naked
by wynn everett
on the table,
ivory Jezebel,
thin and wan,
her
drunken tailor,
slobbers black
devotion across
pallid frame
like the cripple
lugging his Bedford clunk.
Threading the quill,
basting the stitch,
fastening
each word
with fervor
until she sits
upright,
here,
scrutinized, inky,
partially clothed.
Reminds me of “Cut Piece.” I can’t find it on Youtube… I saw a video of it at the museum of modern art in Houston five or six years ago.
definitely alluding to something, but not to the point that it doesn’t stand on its own. interesting.
