[bodytext] => When you posed for a portrait In the studio high-minded as a cleric That you challenged, refusing to sit In a place less than esoteric, I decided not to jeopardize Green eyes flecked with brown, Even though mottled leopard eyes Live under lashes swooping down. You see, I would skip the eyes In a matter of color so tender. The lashes are strokes to size, But the irises prove tough to render! So abstraction jilted at the door, I polished each smear faint. So frenetic were my lines, lest lore Set in with wealthy paint. You stood, the only succor a window sill, And maybe you fell right out while tired, But still I captured you in precise pencil -- Gestures slim that I admired. On the shelves was welcome respite, Rancid cakes -- here and there a gleeful lipid. I will etch your every fidget, No matter how insipid.
