Curtain Design for Victory Over the Sun

My observations are as follows: still dirty
"in the wisdom" that is constructivist
red theatre pieces, bike gloves all
like a mashed crop of dyed hair,
a bad crop this year.  

We started the play at once:
An Enemy of the People.
A Buddha of lapidary contrition enters, 
hospice, tears, La Clemenza di Tito interlude

rolled in tulips of decisive consequence.

Sprezzatura. Our row
throws that cosmic scratch,
apotropaic, scalene
back to the corner pocket
angle on the hustle –

"Live at the Paradox."

– David Lau (2016)
