Monologue -- To “The Embrace No. IV” painted by Matisse (1943) While I serve you in a dark room You say whatever you say to me Yeah, aren’t you doing the same thing to me As a 3rd person, this conversation is lots of fun too Note on the Muse: Matisse's embrace easily seen as if about 2 persons, and instead, it looks like one person embracing. Funny, huh? © Ryang Suh, MD 2023.09.03
