His art continues to inspire me. I find myself studying his elongated faces, the harrowed look in the eyes of his subject. There is so much truth in these paintings. It may take a lifetime of ekphrastic work to write it all out.

after Study for the Cellist, A. Modigliani
in blue
light
my head
bows to
the
bright pluck
of
these strings
to
fingers, my
song
sung like
I have
no voice
because
the avenue
is cold
at dusk
and I have
no coat
your
arm goes
uncovered,
my heart
remains
silent
café sitting
to
quiet
the mystery
of
wondering just
who you
might be
to me,
a cellist
And here I thought this was about me! I saw "E" and got excited! ;)
