Goldfish with Big Eyes
-- To the woman in “Naked with Goldfish” painted by Matisse (1922)
Bright The bodies of goldfish and woman
Distinctive Scarlet color and the color of flesh
Only one of the three goldfish has really big eyes
The goldfish’s eyes slightly protuberant
The woman's eyes inspecting them well
Amid the top of a small round table
Where the red fruits are placed on in solitude
Muse on the Note:
This Matisse painting is a bit beguiling at a glance or looked at closely.
Amid the goldfish and the bare-bodied woman unaware that they are.
