Mona Lisa of the Fields
Lisa Giacondo is alive
I had thought her dead these five hundred years
Now she is mine in the flesh
I possess her as Leonardo once did
Though Leondardo the fool gave her away
I demand the Louvre relinquish her beauty
I saw her alive workig in the field.
That strong Italian back was turned to me
I admired (as visitors to the Louvre cannot do)
those warm wide hips made for love and babies
She turned and looked at me
Feel those dark eyes staring
Eyes dark with the sadness of mothers and lovers
She smiled for me that most famous half smile
Mona Lisa I am yours now
You own me with your eyes and smile
Your skin and hair won me Madonna Lisa
I saw you smile in the fileds
Framed against the red pines and the sky
You are mine now completely
I will not give you away recklessly
As Leonardo did to an undeserving world.
