Cy Twombly at War

A parted place of reconstruction often leads
forward to halted rivers or perhaps faulted leaves
the cannonfire signals perplexity or removes
all doubted stature and marbled wetness
becomes famous for signaling the end
of men as stuttering shapes staggering
with patches of light or darkness
perfection or innocence brings moments
that softly illuminate folded flowers
brought slowly into banded light
blindly positioned forward
filling space
falling back.
