Letters Across the Room |
there you are, my lovely heroine |
standing next to your groom |
it was you who sent those letters |
flying across the room |
centuries kept turning like pages in a book |
withering flowers in bloom |
as the ancient canvas opened its arms |
to let you out just this once |
tell me tell me, let me in on this |
tell me what’s worse |
be broken, unequal, inferior to men |
or simply vanish away |
boldly you told them |
that easel was your husband, your dowry |
you studied the muscle and bone |
sickened with all this virility |
canny in craft you saw his masculinity |
become his fall |
now shoulder by shoulder |
with your sisters in crime you stand |
you know your work has just begun |
cover those ears, close those eyes |
let sentiment and pity yield to the crush |
the Witch is ready to burn |
over and over again |
my flesh, my blood, my only sister in crime |
of not walking away, |
of painting your life |
in a thousand shades of solitude |
Artemisia… |
