Juicy-fruity Women
for S.F.

more Modigliani
I’d not ever seen
to ooh and aah over
overboard with love
for his images, his women

women left bare
almost a century
oranges, tangerines

some women, like grape fruit
so much to take off

artist has to strip you bare
to take you with him
to leave you
to posterity
