Layered Skirt

-- To the Woman in "Red Sofa" painted by Matisse (1921)

 

Sofa bed sheet is red, red colored

White boots on, legs crossed

Feelings, feelings in layers piling up

 

A thought that is thought with eyes wide open is also a thought

It’s the red surrounding the pale blue, the pale blue

 

Note on the Muse:

When you lie down and think, it's better to lie down on your side.

It’s much more colorful thinking than lying straight on your back.
