portraits of women
Pictures, faces, portraits drawn.
Faces loved or met
Over time and chance.
Figures irrefutable evidence of snapshots,
Meditations on glossy paper.
I submit to you you better hold
And you get out, a and multiplied.
Images transfigured, enclosed, netted
From fantastic arabesques.
Portraits of flesh and stone and colors
My eyes are playing you while you set
Eternity.
