Who Are Mr. and Mrs. Clark?

(*inspired by David Hockney's "Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Percy")


















she wants love   her eyes express
wretchedness   falling short of
beautiful though rich
her diamond earrings   hips/hands:
communiqué
the man ignores earfuls
feet bare   hair long   beard traced
on chin   he eyes the painter
bored
they've not moved in   or out
sparse vase/flowers   touch of
pretense
unplugged phone
blue lamp   crystal
would have been in baby's room
the air outside is
blue
the table   abstract on the wall
his sweater
all blue
even Percy's white coat
tinged with it   but oh no
not her   blood   red   velvet gown


*Ekphrasis is relating one art medium to another...A descriptive work of prose or poetry, a film or even a photograph may... enhance the original art and so take on a life of its own.
