Waves
-- To "Dancer in Blue *Tutu" painted by Matisse (1942)
A vase putting both arms around the waist
A woman putting left arm around the waist
Somehow dark side, a comfortable look
Vivid eyelashes
Strong femoral muscles, strong thighs
Color orange, watermelon, blue tutu, tutu
Black waves, serene waves
*tutu: a pleated skirt worn during ballet
Note on the Muse:
There are times when the orange looks somehow dark. It's not always
like that, but it's kind of like that when Matisse's woman's skirt waves.
