Click here she is a painter
artist of and with some degree
dressed as a peasant sans the sombrero,
that off white between dirty and warm,
victim and martyr, fashion and uniform,
her work an element of primary shallowness.
she congregates with island artist
sharing elitist conversation
which never makes them smile,
a dialog of pungent odors
rendering turned up noses,
living a bohemian modus operandi
dipping herself in self pity and superiority,
my God.... she wears it well.
through this facade
around her persona
darker and deeper than I care to view,
not some suv driving Georgia O'Keeffe
but a bitter mother more beautiful than
her children.

LeBrozover 17 years agoExcellent piece; my only question is how this woman you describe in such detail can be considered more beautiful than her children. She sounds so shallow and filled with bitterness.
Maria2394about 19 years agohere..i read it 3 times already. You really summed her up, very well, and sadly, so sad she seems. excellent poem, sandspike, thanks!!
Syndra Lynnabout 19 years agoI especially liked the last 3 lines:
not some suv driving Georgia O'Keeffe
but a bitter mother more beautiful than
her children.
annaswirlsabout 19 years agoSpike this is tremendous. Such a great description of this woman, by showing her actions, her responses, her attire. I want to meet this woman once. Sand-- this poem deserves a title that reflects its complexity.
