Marietta Brill
On the Beauty of the Handbag Hook in Treatment Room #5
Centered and still
gleaming
On a dun-
colored panel
On a dun-colored
panel, centered
On a dun-colored panel
centered and gleaming
Still and gleaming
at the neutral center
The wild
of the center
Large-ish, wild
on a neutral plain
On a field
dun and still
The center
gleaming wildly
