soaked in watercolor
crumbled images quiver
with a buzz of satisfaction
while the eyes of the viewer luster
for the meaning undercover
they dig and they shiver
alone ahead of the mirror
an empty frame without a face
lost in this fickle showcase
searching for the safe place
a bright and winding staircase
leading to the slender hall
with the picture on the wall
smeared in watercolor
the broken images utter
a sigh from home....
