Woman At Window

A Native American lady,
  In a scintillating...crimson dress,
    Embellished with shells and stars.

Gazing directly at the viewer, 
  The image of her face casts a grimaced look,
    As if she sweats blood from cultural shock.

The clash of cultures are layered,
  A cowboy belt adorns her Indian dress,
    Turn-of-the-century wallpaper frames the window.

A Cannon landscape...backdrops  the setting,
  Native to his style of puff-ball trees,
    Under the ice cream...clouds of the sky.
