Dark Curly Hair Blue
He wears the heavenly blue of Mary’s cloak
Across the bicep on his left-hand side.
That muscle is not very male. The stroke
Of folded blue placed there helps him to hide
That fact. Another crucial part is veiled
By Mary Queen of Heaven’s hue. It blocks
The adult genitals the painter trailed
The cloth to mask. The face with wavy hair
Might just as well be one of either sex,
A Middle Sea profile and beauty. Still,
Flat breasts above the almost manly pecs
Unbalance the eyes from intersex thrill.
Besides, that forearm and that frontal fist
Say he will stipulate which parts are kissed.
