Flower Vase
-- To the "Girl in White with a Bouquet" painted by Matisse (1919)
Within the room, a gentle current flows
Red flowers, white flowers, peach-colored cell division
A woman's gaze, tender yet distinct
As the current in the room grows stronger
Books take flight, and the table topples
Note on the Muse:
As I said before, when appreciating Matisse's painting, I believe the background is more important than the foreground. It's the same when you speak to someone. The background of your conversation matters more than the choice of words.
