Poem

Lartigue photograph :
45. Solange, Neuilly 1929


Only her absurdly painted lips
reside near focus

Lartigue has softened everything
her throat a lake of milk

her hair parted in the middle
brushed tightly against her skull

thickens & sweeps & turns
below her hidden ears

plucked eyebrows lined
in two amused curves

long lashes long lashes
below heavy painted lids

not asleep but looking down
listening & waiting

for it to be over

- William J. Gibson -
