Dear Old Master Chagall!<br />

<strong>The</strong> cradle-bodies from the Riga-shtetl!<br />

slither through the purple pall<br />

you drape as a mirror from the sheer face<br />

<strong>of</strong> New York’s sky-scrapers! <strong>The</strong> little bodies<br />

give themselves away in your diamond-ink<br />

and forgive each other for looking so lovely<br />

in your pink bluish yellowish hues.<br />

We paint them<br />

as you do!<br />

Just being dragged on a rope with hairy hooks.<br />

My sympathy is with the mouse<br />

But I feed the cat.<br />
