In-depth Coverage

-- To the woman in “Nude Sitting, Blue Background” (1936)

 

It's a flesh-colored snake It's a snake

Low-flowing celestial body, deep blue stairs

A celestial body where big and small stars toss and turn in pain

Green sesame leaves, oval sesame leaves

In the parenthesis, deep in there not knowing what’s going on  

It's a flesh-colored snake It's a snake

 

Note on the Muse:

I am doing an in-depth coverage on the woman in Matisse’s painting.

I am coming up with ouch-ouch-penetrating comments and questions.
