Elizabeth Vrenios Singing Villanelle to a Collage of Pleated Cows
Oh my mellifluous, lusty pastiche
photomontage arranged in hodgepodge
oh layered, lacquered, luminous beasts.In cows I curl and crinkle and pleat,
lion and leopard do lemony lodge
Oh my fluidy lust of pastiche!A gallimaufry of moveable feast.
a dollop of daisies atop a swatch,
Oh luminous layers of lacquered beasts,newly embossed in this color of peach
and frizzled frost and craggy crust.
Oh my mellifluous lust of pastiche,I brush and crush and paint and unleash
and bury beneath the curious sheet. Oh
lacquer the heart's luminous beastblushed pink and inked with layers of lace,
which sports a brushed and rosy face.
Oh fluid heart in lusty pastiche!
Oh my layered, lacquered, luminous beast.
