History mentions
still life
as highly sublime paintings
whose distinguished patrons
owners of centuries
inspired, intellectual, real, scientific
studied Spanish
and picked them
not purely
for their ancient interest in
and descriptions of
cherries and strawberries
but
because
as lively as birds
they displaced the painter
dismissed him,
to say the soul of men
think devil
represent beautiful dragonflies
hiding single subject
detail of life
not still
fruits of paradise
