Portrait

by Virginia Parsell
(1920? - 2003) Timeline

Original Language
English
Secular or Eclectic
Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist
20th Century

Lying in bed is a funny scene:
Snow-white blanket goes up by a half,
Surrounded by window and sofa,
Pictures and books, bureau and table,
Closets and draperies, ceiling edge,
Bottomed by warm flesh-covered hands,
Holding pencil and paper, on which
Creeps the description of a blue glimpsed,
Two-armed chest, blissfully beheaded.
