Dante Gabriel Rossetti
in
art
young beards
pack up to
flicker fat old men
whose own pack praise their once fresh dreams.
dante and his gang cued quaint medieval shapes and lore
but to truly gospel their ramblings young women need offer soft skin and attention.
dante's ladies filled his chloral and whiskey permeated air, canvases, and bed
giving tall unsmiling life to his legerdemain
long jaw lines and huge hair linger
excuse his ego
addiction
art and
sad
end
