Jeanne Hebuterne's neck rings

released the lump in her throat.

which assumed its shape--but

did not veer off from the width

of her shoulders.

the almond milk bath of her face--

only came up for air, as she sat.

omissions of blue made eye contact--

as Jeanne's eyes made Modigliani's

paintbrush into a walking stick.
*Inspired by Amedeo Modigliani's painting: "Blue Eyes".
