While at the Neue National Gallerie on Sunday and Hamburger Bahnhof today I had the pleasure of seeing some amazing contemporary art, and I wrote some poetry inspired by some of the pieces I saw. So here's some of that!
Erie Shore/Kitaj/NNG
Razor blade chin strap
Yellow walrus sea
Filing cabinet sunsets
and Safety pin trees
Acrobat windows
and Rope-burn breasts
Wooden boat theaters
and two-comb jests.
Secret Painting/NNG
and splatter it with black
so no one will know
what's underneath
but me.
And I want to paint a new face
over this one I have now
and tell everyone
what they're missing
and that I'm quite the sight to see.
A Monument to the Future/Beuys/HB
are cannon fodder
that we've gone too far
and cannot turn back.
I am excited to go to even more museums tomorrow! Berlin just provokes creativity and innovation from every person who enters it. I can't believe tomorrow is our last full day here, and I could honestly stay here for another month and not see everything I want to see.
Bis bald!
