• Just because I like his art

  Currently Reading Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary: Reflections by Women Writers By Susan Morrison see related

   

   

   

   

  For “Woman with amphora

  And pomegranates, 1953” (by Matisse)

   

  She knows he’s watching. Down fall

  Pomegranates and wine, shapes and blue,

  Want  is careless. She is coolness, movement.

  They have a love like the newly blind,

  untrained; still reaching out at eye level,

  instead of testing the ground ahead.

  She’ll prove this:

  Hands grasping. Trust me, instead,

  He whispers at her slow swaying.

  That is one kind of rush at the dark.

   

  In the daylight she is more of a shadow,

  walking uncertainly towards him,

  straining to hear what he’s saying.
