because of what between

a piece developed from my reading on da vinci’s study of optics, the resultant effects in his work through this understanding, i.e. the haze of distance, things seen at a distance

the day hazed
as a da vinci
visage

                 a polish
of brush, pigmented
somewhat shadowed
a smudged knuckling
which errs the eye
atmospheric un focus :
such seeing,
     
                  the science
of having seen, 
                 been

envisaged
as a hazed da

keen eyes see

 regarding cézanne’s style of painting, his rejection of amending, he simply added another stroke, a layer, the form would emerge in the eye. also, a concrete piece, taking the shape of one of his stilllife apples

falsamiga

 an ekphrastic poem, of Picasso’s Guernica, initially, and to some degree i’m certain it still is, though it, during the writing, adjusted its being
