I first read this poem in 2003 . I was immediately touched by it and for a long time I had been in a mood created by this poem.It is the very intonation of the narrator that captured me.
I really like this poem .

I came across this poem first in Anne Lamontt's new Book, Plan B. I really like this poem since it points to seeing beyond our physical world. The imagery holds together for me well until. I get to "small fists passing sunlight/ so quickly to one another/ that it would take long, streaming hair/ inside my brush to catch it./ To paint at the speed of light!/
The clarity of the poems begins to break down here for me.
and finally
/Our weighted shapes, these verticals,/ burn to mix with air and change our bones, skin, clothes/ to gas/
changing our bones to gas is a hard thing for comprehend.
Aside from those to comments I think the poem does a great job of capturing the essence of Monets paintings.
