Sea Waves

-- To “Naked Woman in the Waves” painted by Matisse (1938)

 

Flapping the wings high up in the sky

Seagulls flapping the wings

Swinging the wings with eyes half-open or so

Seagulls Seagulls Seagulls in the water fog

Spreading in all directions, ripples, wave, waves

Woman audaciously taking on the deep grand darkness

Eyes half-closed or so with distinctive facial features

 

Note on the Muse:

Matisse's lines are always smooth.

Like flowing water, calm waves.
