I like how you provide her with the self-awareness to keep what is hers, allowing her to retain some measure of direction - all while in the context and flavor of the Gilded AgeMud Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768724612072296530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397499842210905447.post-76813197540598704072018-02-03T17:38:19.263-08:002018-02-03T17:38:19.263-08:00Your words sum up the image perfectly, Susie.

I always try to scroll down to the words before focusing on the image, and this time was very pleased to go back to see it and notice that the poetry had already showed me what it was. <br /><br />I wonder what this would read like from the point of view of the painter...

Humans are objects and commodities - that is the essence of how we think and consequently act. A fair price to be paid? Dressed or un - painted as art or as needs for market day, this is a scathing piece. Howl on.

I was going to single out the opening lines, but I find the conclusion just as deft and intense--an excellent poem for those who have found out the hard way that very few human experiences are not transactional. Or so I read, anyway. Thanks so much for bringing your words to the 55, Susie.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397499842210905447.post-51556163297907029092018-02-02T18:53:01.082-08:002018-02-02T18:53:01.082-08:00Wow, you sure know how to handle those dreams.
