As Picasso did it, the eyes
bigger than the head, it extends
for the spectator
the primitive bodies
Les Demoiselles,
I saw it with my wife
in the summer of 1991,
New York in suspension
below of the heat’s humidity,
lively and intact in a recurring wave
of air, the soul
establishes itself
in the girls of the Calle d'Avignon.

Well, I of course dig the Ashbery reference, but I think it could be fleshed out a bit. Some of the telling phrases ("I saw it with my wife") could be surrounded by more impressions on the painting and such to give them more weight. I like "intact in a recurring wave of air" though. "Below of the heat's humidity" is a little off grammatically, I think?

Hi, Il Pensieroso
Yes, I am in debt with John Ashbery and its Selected Poems.
I was felt inspired to tell my contact with the Picasso's painting with my wife, in NYC, at MoMA in summer(July) 1991.
All best
