(Jackson Pollock's Lucifer
hung in a girl's bedroom
until she left for college
and then was placed
in a common area of the house)
was that cigarette paper
held in the painting
a hiccup, or a creation, or
just a something simply
wondered about by strangers
later on
child explications
chain this dancing chaos
events pleasures people theories and fears
of naive life and mentation rob
beauty from fury
cigarette paper in a girl's bedroom,
dribbled, splashed faces
gab-twisted away
details in the devil
chaos in each framed
moment
moment
unreflected
