3168. THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD (Courbet)

THE ORIGIN OF
THE WORLD

(Courbet)
Just like Courbet to show so
sternly the rights and the wrongs
of this place : displaced and watery
souls, still bloody, struggling through
space. It's harsh, like the black caw
of a raven, picking through trash
at the dawn of yet another day.
I see the familiar in so ordinary
a way. Oh, oh, leave it to Courbet.
