Autoretrato de Kahlo
Hands on hip this woman looks so- lid. Emp- ty. Light streams body’s dispersal. Flashes off solar plex us. Vast night sky. Burnt umber pushes her head past her eyes. Anguish wished far for. Wide spread skirt. Ecstasy on going. Light so light and lovely. Who though is ready for this final dis/ solution?
