At the end
of the thirteenth Century,
Giotto created The Crucifix
The year was 1293 but
the ear of Giotto—
with divine intervention—
listened to music from the middle
of the twentieth Century
He listened to a sculpted
blues musician named
Guitar Joe Clay
Maybe that is why Jesus appears
to be dancing on the cross
Maybe that is why the top panel
of the crucifix once made flesh
of a violin's sound holes
Maybe not
