|Poem| Jar-shaped One-piece Dress

 

Jar-shaped One-piece Dress

-- To the woman in “France Oil on Canvas” painted by Matisse (1939)

 

French-style red jar

Woman's body afloat high up in the yellow sky

*Mieum-shaped square Square-shaped jar platform

Jar platform dimly diminishing Fresh red pepper paste smell

Aromatic jar Mature one-piece dress

 

*mieum: a square-shaped Korean alphabet consonant, ‘ㅁ’

 

Note on the Muse:

Matisse’s woman's dress looks very tight on her body.

Her slim dress feels like a jar-shaped skirt, like I said.
