For the next couple of Sundays I will be in London, staying with my daughter and her family. Tomorrow we have tickets to see a Picasso Exhibition at the Tate. Standing among brilliant works of art frequently holds me tongue tied as do social gatherings where I'm lucky to know maybe one other person in the room.
Small Talk
And I rue
my Northern European reserve:
a Study in Black and White pinned
among an exuberance of Matisse
Wyeth's Helga surrounded by Warhol's,
Mao and Marilyn
a Vermeer
silenced by a three-eyed Picasso.
But how to reveal
my Miro
overpainted by forbearance?
