The painting that inspired this ekphrasis in lanterne sequence

He
opened
the window-
in streamed his first
love
with
flowers,
dressed
in white-
she haunted his
art

I like this--it has that haiku-like feel, and for some reason reminds me of that moment I saw my wife walk down the aisle the day we married.
