Blue Notebook
--- To the "Woman Reading a Book" painted by Henri Matisse 20C
The moment I take my eyes off the vase, it vanishes
Funny, isn’t it? How the vase exists and doesn’t
A fully blooming red flower
Your thick forearm muscles supporting your chin
A wordless book, radiant white book
As if about to fall down right away
Existing by not existing, staying still
A Samsung phone with blue cover, as well
Note on the Muse:
I am tormented by the proposition whether having a flower exists or not. I even doubt the substance of the woman in the painting. It's funny to fret on existence and nonexistence. Matisse's woman reading a book is leaping over time.
