Around the Lips

-- To the Woman in Matisse's "Violet Bolero" (1937)

 

Eyes fully filled with pupils Black pupils

Pale shade leanly shimmering neck Woman’s neck

White skirt thickly shirred

Left hand on top of right hand softly

Red lipstick egging on purple bolero too

 

Note on the Muse:

The woman in this Matisse painting looks like a bull in her eyes.

The blouse looks like a bolero vest worn by a bull fighter, I’d say.
