No.58: Reflections on a painting by M.Rossi : ' In The Artist's Studio '.1987 .

She sits there on a stool
A child too young to contemplate

But is she merely sucking thumb ?
Or pondering an uncertain fate ?

An orange cluchted in hand she fails
To venture confrontation with her eyes

Against the wall behind her
Face down, a sleeping canvas lies

The eyes that saw her then
Say more than words will ever

But only time knows what the girl
On the stool in her life will endeavour
