after Ikebana Boat by Dale Chihuly Over the gunwale of the wooden boat, red swan contemplates her reflection in black tile water, a wild party in her gondola, ikebana garden libertine, ravening trumpets, fronds spindled striped and whorl long-necked micro-leaf fish tail in the museum night. We press to see, chorus of eyes shouldering.
