Self-Obliterating Infinity Net: Yayoi Kusama 2012

Self-Obliterating Infinity Net: Yayoi Kusama 2012

In the asylum
of her studio
across from the asylum
she has lived
in voluntarily
since 1977

Yayoi Kusama
prepares a fresh
canvas, a new chance
to obliterate herself
by accumulating
brightly coloured

flowers, eyes, tubes,
sprouting seed-like shapes,
and, as ever,
stretching perhaps back to her birth
in Matsumoto, Japan
in 1929

dots
          and
                    nets,
                    nets
          and
dots.
