(Drafting again - ekphrasis)
----------------After John Collier, 1892
The Garden is dark
---------The Nude luminous
Breasts pubescent, slightly upturned
Head atilt
Hair aflame
Her hips suggest a motion
-----------The memory of sway
The Snake is coiling
Comprehension around
A perfectly formed leg
Her sex is encircled
(Dark shadowed)
Her arms play a variation
------------Upon The Grande Pose
She’s holds aloft a Creature
That hasn’t been named
Her chin rests upon the Serpent
She is smiling
Her eyes might be adoring
Her eyes might be closed
