Danseuse ajustant sa bretelle, 1895-96, Edgar Degas
He dreamt her
in black and white.
Feathers float
softer
as the light strikes.
Sullen,
he lurks in the dark.
Await.
Yearning to capture
the essence
of her soul.
Undaunted,
she
caracoles.
Luminous
only
for
herself.
A poem created for
Thank you Tess, for another wonderful visual inspiration.
