new poems by Richard Howard
PHALLACIES IV
Her dealer, who handled successful artists
was a successful dealer,
and his Christmas party, too, was a success:
we all know it was, for weren't we all there?
And the successful artist
being handled in her eighth decade knew it
too, although she was so old, and had been so
unsuccessful for so long
that she seemed to pay no mind to anyone.
She sat quite still, her rosy scalp glistening
through her rather thin white hair,
and gave no sign of hearing, or ignoring,
and of our successful conversations.
Above the chair she sat in
(like a furnished bone) loomed the decorative
focus of the long room which had been handled
by a successful designer
of skeletal interiors: a Roman male,
oversize, and barely under overweight,
every muscle equally
successful - classically nude but not
in the least naked as any man would be.
And as the talk continued,
Alice Neel leaned back and looked up into
the forking limbs above her head, a pure
pelvic arch indeed denuded
of the usual embellishment, so that
all that met the eye was a shadowed empty
socket, the mere embouchure
where once unstinting paraphernalia
must have lodged. "Very pragile things, penises",
she mused, and for a moment
no one there succeeded in saying a word.

我觉得nunia斑竹行使权力要谨慎（兼答楼下区区不才）。
