History in Art
Maggie Devers
My husband tells me I have a twentieth century ass And that’s a type of poem. Rubens put touches of red on his angels' rears, Literally rogue on cheeks And I feel that’s what this world is missing— More blushed bottoms More naked debauchery More holy stories We laugh out loud at some of the babies, Old man newborn is forever the haha trope, The mortality, ever life, after life, reincarnation, universal oneness Created for us by some Flemish dude Appeasing his benefactor. Before time’s up And we walk down the mountain back to life.
