Fingerless

-- To Matisse's painting, "Woman with a Scarf" (1936)

 

The left arm is a bar rice cake, a plump, plump bar rice cake

A red-striped scarf, a zebra-like pattern

The waves surge, palpitation, palpitation

As if to smile, the woman is not smiling

The light blue and yellow background is

American-style paper windows, completely American style

 

Note on the Muse:

Was Matisse pursuing softness? The softness of the bar rice cake arm. This woman has roughly three or maybe even no fingers on her left hand. Her facial expression shows no concern for such matters.
