Arabesque -- To Matisse's painting, "Woman Sitting with her Back to the Open Window of the Sea and the Beach" (1922) Carpet, varicolored carpet Beige-tinted white sky, sky-colored Several sailboats exchanging messages A lightly shadowed face, woman's face Tiger swallowtail and bent back inchworm ballet dancing Note on the Muse: Analyzing the woman’s state of mind as she is sitting with her back ..

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? T..

An Island Thrown -- To Matisse's painting, "Young Woman on a White and Red Background" (1946) Green broadleaf plant, leaves, leaves are flying A woman is lying down, lying down quietly Gray wings, wings spread Hidden legs, legs smiling in white Fins without a single finger, pectoral fins An island floating somewhere, floating, a large red island Note on the Muse: Our legs are simply legs, but ou..

Upper Arm -- To Matisse’s painting, "Woman Resting on Her Elbow" 1943 Upper, upper arm muscles from shoulder, elbow bones Swell up bulging, bulging from the ligaments You don’t know It's okay not to know Above the woman's blazing forehead Like a bundle of hemp, like pitch-black clouds, clouds Like a bundle of hemp, flames arise plump, plump Note on the Muse: There is a feeling that Matisse's eye..

Close-up -- To “Reading Woman, Daydreaming” by Matisse (1921) Crimson walls, white dresser There’s a lonesome flower vase by the book with neat black stripes Tightly fitting in the black boots, the woman's tightly fitting feet An oval mirror magnifies the side of her head many times over With her head tilted I see her gaze falling into a daydream, a distinct gaze Note on Muse: When it comes to M..

Anemone Accordion -- To the painting "Woman with Anemones" by Matisse (1937) A book spread on the knees Between the white keys of the accordion The resounding sound of the black keys, bunga bunga A hunk of dense pink flowers An anemone safely landing on the woman's left forehead Her left eye wide open, right side half-closed, half-closed The world is unfolding in red stripes, bunga bunga Note on..

Diagonal -- To the painting "Woman Sitting in a Chair" by Matisse (1926) Take a look at that skewed posture A tight grid pattern A trap hidden within the armchair of mugwort color A woman with her knees concealed by dark blue clouds Her right side bare foot Touching the floor of brick color A slim face awaiting the *Apocalypse *The end of the world described in the Book of Revelation Note on Mus..

Blue Notebook --- To the "Woman Reading a Book" painted by Henri Matisse 20C The moment I take my eyes off the vase, it vanishes Funny, isn’t it? How the vase exists and doesn’t A fully blooming red flower Your thick forearm muscles supporting your chin A wordless book, radiant white book As if about to fall down right away Existing by not existing, staying still A Samsung phone with blue cover,..

Perspective of Palm Trees -- To "Woman Playing the Violin by the Window" by Henri Matisse (1921) A river of floral hues flows The flowers are red A song sung by the river is with no beat No beat A woman holds a bow in her hand Violin bow A coconut is being divided in half loudly agape Cell division takes place sparked by the indigo sky Outside of the clean-cut window contoured in deep yellow Loo..

Dark Eyes -- To "Woman With Violin" by Henri Matisse (1923) The desk with scorched-rice-water color The violin bow is whipping me Excessive finger exercise A break from finger exercise Becoming bigger and bigger are the woman's eyes Scorched-rice-water color Pupil dilation The paintings of dilated pupils are piling up on the wall The body of the violin vanishes And the universe the entire univer..
