Inspired by a Johannes Vermeer painting.
Behind the fine lined cracks
That web the paintings surface;
She stands her chair pushed back
A china glow to her face,
Caught by the sun that flows
Through her unshuttered windows.
Her room lies dissected
For comments on its contents;
How it’s decorated,
The age of its ornaments,
But we have our limits;
A door and all beyond it.
