Botticelli keeps secrets

Botticelli cries every day

Botticelli sleeps

with the curtains open

for the sky

Botticelli is never certain if the sun

rises or sets in the west

Botticelli exemplifies grace

Botticelli paints breasts very slowly

Venus leaning to the left

Venus with hands on chest

Venus with perfectly symmetrical face

Botticelli hides a boy

they say

he draws him every night

and burns it every morning

Botticelli has specified his burial place

Botticelli dislikes shadows

Botticelli paints

Botticelli possesses linear rhythm

He paints on great church walls

Botticelli gets skinnier

Botticelli paints lamentations

Botticelli paints very quickly

Botticelli paints statues and trees

and annunciations
