To Elisabetta

The Night by Elisabetta Trevisan
Tell me about the girl,
tall and fawn as fall.
The one you shawled in silver;
does she exist at all?
Is she method; is she muse?
Is she ladder or the wall?
Tell me about the girl.
Does she exist at all?

I'll be curious to know if you have an answer. I like how you wrote quite literally to the image.

Mama Zen--Intriguing, as usual.

"...tall and fawn as fall.
The one you shawled in silver" is quite well-crafted...

I hope the artist who paints will get to read this dedication from an artist who writes.

What a perfect title, and the poem really encapsulates the relationship between artist and audience.
