Wardian Case
for Camille Pissarro
The merchant ships in harbour;
Spanish, Dutch, Danish.
“drawing coconut trees.”
The donkeys flagellate, lashed to their carts,
veins and skin ripple on forearms,
the Negro women do their wash,
carrying their jugs and baskets on their heads.
Leaving the Queen’s Quarter
in crates and boxes with worn labels;
“Madrid, Amsterdam, Copenhagen.”
The pencil scratching form, value, shadow.
The palette; from Charlotte Amalie
“bolted to Caracas in order to get clear
of the bondage of bourgeois life.”
