Picasso with Casagemas,
you with Me,
thousands more.
worn history.

Keep breathing.
Dampen bitter voices.
Hydrate.
Becalm.
One more hour.

Precipitated peace.
Darken tones.
Unseen thoughts.
Each of us alone.

Objects who
come alive in day’s rare,
delicate,
faltering
light.

Bricks and mortar,
museums to memories.
Tenants forgotten,
legacies
lost.
