His Mirrored Keepsake-With Writer's Notes

His Mirrored Keepsake

one by one the monarchs kissed his canvas
impressions orange and black
etched, two cried eternal

4/5/17

Notes-this poem carries messages below the surface. The artists is painting
monarchs on his canvas, kissing. Two are off in the distance, nomadic, crying eternal (forever). Which two? What's the subliminal message? The title
gives it away-His Mirrored Keepsake ... the artist sees his own reflection. The writer is writing through the eyes of the artist.
