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
