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
