Carle Hessay: Abstract No. 60 (Life Drawing)

Life Drawing

There is a nude in there,

I know it.

The long-necked horse

and tattooed man are distractions only.

From the poem, "Life Drawing," by Eve Joseph, inspired by Abstract No. 60. For Kelly, With Love: Poems on the Abstracts of Carle Hessay (Treeline Press, 2014).
