Rose In A Tumbler (Mondrian)




















A powder blue flower —
a rose in a short glass,
a seer's whiskey sour,
nature without surface.

A drawing to surpass
reality, it grows,
it seems, to embarrass
red and white roses.

We know the artist’s known
a multiplying power — 
the rose blooming unblown —
an immortal flower.
