after fifty-nine years
he saw
the woman
with two faces
there was no such thing
as an ex-Catholic
or an ex-Spaniard
living in France
first Paris with Max
then back to Madrid
an old guitarist
what can you do
with blue, blindness
and the female nude
with two faces
Ma Jolie Fernande
Eva, Gaby, Pacquerette,
Irene Lagut, Olga,
Marie-Therese,
Francoise, Jacqueline
I the harlequin and the minotaur
you the women in the mirror
10 / 25 / 19 (Picasso’s birthday)
