The Beauty

by BOB GALLO   Apr 9, 2021


Where has the butterfly winged?
Where has the flower gone?

These all are so tender and brief
because their beauty
do not need them
after they are observed,
after they are absorbed
by a paint brush
or a poet’s watercolour box
or inked inside an image
that one day would carve stones,

Beauty is metamorphic
and everlasting.
and only appears
in consciousness.
