Pablo Picasso, who said, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Paul Gaugin
he made hundreds of collages
of orthopterous insects—
katydids, mantids, cicadas,
crickets and grasshoppers
with long hind legs for jumping
or, you could say, flying;
and for making a rasping, chafing
sound or, you could say, song.
