Brian Strand Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

The lady in question http://www.edouard-manet.net/berthe-morisot/

Manet Model

large black
                eyes
dreamy&
            seductive
in potent simplicity

betoken

        distraction

eyez
a poetry
    ephemeral  detail
obscure
yet
revealed
            burning deep

a femme
            fatale
of desire
     in erotic
                overtones
in an
         eternal
             instant
