art & poetry by Dorothea Tanning

Sequestrienne

Don’t look at me for answers. Who am I but a sobriquet, a teeth-grinder, grinder of color, and vanishing point? There was a time of middle distance, unforgettable, a sort of lace-cut flame-green filament to ravish my skintight eyes. Heaven’s motes sift to salt-white — paint is ground to silence; and I, I am bound, unquiet, a shade of blue in the studio. If it isn’t too late let me waste one day away from my history. Let me see without looking inside at broken glass.

All Hallow’s Eve

Be perfect, make it otherwise. Yesterday is torn in shreds. Lightning’s thousand sulfur eyes Rip apart the breathing beds. Hear bones crack and pulverize. Doom creeps in on rubber treads. Countless overwrought housewives, Minds unraveling like threads, Try lipstick shades to tranquilize Fears of age and general dreads. Sit tight, be perfect, swat the spies, Don’t take faucets for fountainheads. Drink tasty antidotes. Otherwise You and the werewolf: newlyweds.
