Cézanne and Mont Blanc

Cézanne and Mont Blanc

Mont Blanc is a pyramid, cube, sphere....

each some form of paper, some kite—

a graphite fragment on pastel paper at noon,

hand moving before the word forms—

Paint has moved them out of fissured

rock—color bursts in the air,

freeing the statue, freeing the frame.
