Poem from 'Palimpsest' (2008) by the Danish writer Klaus Høeck


STANDING NUDE
(1921)

carved out of pali
sander mahogany or
teak which were the pre

ferred types of wood back
then – long live the twenties which
by the way i know

absolutely bug
ger all about but i re
ly on art which in

brief glimpses shows us
much more of the truth than his
tory ever does
