Proportions

Maggie Devers

I went to Catalonia the week past

And can't get Gala out of my mind

It's as if Dali is inhabiting me,

And all I think about is my muse

She was luminous with her swans

And then I saw them stuffed in the library.

That was a bit much,

But it all was

That's why we like it.

Atomic Leda, what have we made?

Suspended, untouching forever

Floating on the planes to sea
