Poetry inspired by the Frick Collection
• Sending and receiving letters (the Mistress and the Maid, Vermeer)
The focus it seems
Is the relationship of the
Mistress and the Maid when
In fact its creator held all power
And emphasis in this exchange
Not of words but the note
This correspondence in card
Holds the key to the balance
To the transfer of emotions
Holds the time and the life
Of those writing, receiving and
Delivering. Inferring the
Most words wrapped in an envelope
Unwrapped by the scene
