Streaming waterfall
Bright Pissarro's beard flows
Down his chest his brown smock
Like cliffs behind the white bristle
His mouth turned down dark red
Suggestion of a hole beneath
Hair that defines existence
In old age eyes circled in a depth
Peering above glasses display
Vulnerability surrender fear
Ravage that deprives the self
Of strength of assurance
Confidence that canvassed
Grand boulevards of Paris
Haystacks as impressions
Women naked yielding to a
Manhood itself now yielding
As approaching death stops
Momentarily balked by beauty in
An artist's face
Jack, 1/12
