Pandora’s Grail 

If you visit the Brooklyn  Museum

You may see their marble Pandora

Examining her jar

The same jar’s at the Met
Though carved from limestone
From Troyes —

Held by Mary Magdalene
Is that strange?
The flow/the flower/the flock

Seated on benches,

with one sleeve rolled up
As pigeons — white and grey and black —
Flap — just above the overpass
