Honorable Mention
Camille Claudel: Rodin’s Muse & Mistress
Michael MV (Michael Virga)

for Camille


Forever fearlessly enchanted
Ruby Muse

making art like love
lyrical light on stained-glass
cut by those aqua-marine eyes
that reflect the unbeveled

crystal-visions of a prodigal
provencial protegee
carpenter-city-child

with the heart of Hugo
the heat of Van Gogh
and the divinity of Michelangelo

you reached
above the dust
and offered
velvet locks upon the wheel
and in doing saved
a rusting sun from setting too soon

"Love has given
the old man Rodin
new wings"

Belle de la lune
Beauty of the Moon
with a mad compassion for the mud

so that it can be
just like once
upon a great
warm white wind
sistine fingers lingering all around

but why must the night
be in descent
to turn starless

for eyes that relish light
ragingly refuse to wane
but phase into black moons
brooding bright

critics say delusions
of Medea
eclipsed a Madonna's claim

yet see again
how still with the patience
of Providence

like a cold fever broken
she melts marble into man
