That Pink Stranger

  • Oil on wood panel
  • 9" x 12" x 0.5"
  • Available

Inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem F1550 and her powerful feelings for someone who has died, wishing she could bring them back to life:

 

Oh give it motion - deck it sweet

With Artery and Vein -
Upon its fastened Lips lay words -
Affiance it again
To that Pink stranger we call Dust -
Acquainted more with that
Than with this horizontal one
That will not lift its Hat -
