Woman - Ekphrastic Poem

Woman -

Who is this woman?
Clad in silk and finery,
With an icy blue stare.

She is a thief’s flame.
Clad in stolen gold and lace.
In a hidden safe-house.


She is a duke’s child.
Clad in the fruits of his labor.
Without worry or want.


She is a schoolmarm.
Clad in a hand-me-down dress.
An altruistic soul.


She is a woman,
Clad in silk and finery,
With an icy blue stare.



Hayden Russell
