1897 oil on canvas: “A Woman Combing” by Wladyslaw Slewinski, Nat’l Museum, Kraków
Oh! Her eye’s spidery
lashes. Oh, the universe
of the night-blue quilt
she sits on while combing
her long hair, a bounty,
electric, in competition
with the glory of her singular
frame and her hour alone.
In her hand mirror she finds
the close and the beautiful.
