Simple cloth clinging
Such amazement on his face
to easy meditations.
The patchwork robe drapes
the form of the fearful
clutching his very skull
to the soul beating in his breast.
as if to acknowledge the desertion.
Written 17 April 1996, National Gallery, London, England
Inspired by "St. Francis in Meditation" by Francisco de Zurbaran, 1630's
