“Ophelia’s Soliloquy” & “The Lady in Pink Speaks”
But how to be in a world gone mad. / Not to be is easy. / Simply climb a willow tree, / reach for what you cannot have, / and fall from grace.
The Death of a Painter
“Why do people torment themselves with the threat of an afterlife?”
How to Look at a Painting
“Can you see the brushstrokes? Do you want to touch them? Do you want to lick the paint?”
Music for Desks: Hearing Muted Music
“Johns and Rauschenberg are in the curious position of being understood as a pair, but not a couple.”
“Woman in the Sun, 1961” & “On Finding a Sculpture of a Woman That Was Made by a Woman To”
I count the walls around me,
floorboards gleaming, bed
unmade, I do not hold
a cigarette and I am not
your wife.
