WHEN PICASSO LIED
(Horto de Ebro, 1909)
He spoke of nothing, not even trees.
Barren forms and shapes, shaded areas
of cube and angle, the volume of objects
all giving way. Look! Look! Just have
your eyes fall into that gaping hole.
'Houses on the Hill' with that crazy
center shape : promiscuous void, gaping hole,
thin and narrow opening, entry to a Hell.
I shan't (before I try) ever look away.
Picasso lied; and that's all he had to say.
