| A Bañarse, by Juan Santiago Corbacho in author's collection |
I sit at the kitchen table,
my computer sits with me.
I raise my head and there you are,
hanging out in the living room.
Although surrounded by
other places,
other faces,
you are my favorite.
Who brought you here,
so far from your native Argentina,
to end up on a wall
in Oregon?

It's quite a thrilling painting! How wonderful that art can transport all manner of otherness to where we are.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I got it for $10 at a horse rescue facility that had outbuildings filled with donated items. It was an unsold estate sale item.
DeleteI like your picture choice. Whether or not it is actually on your wall now, I like your write to it. Now, for me, is it? In my mother's house was a picture of a wolf on a hill. To me it was "The Lone Wolf". I have it now, not hung but resting on the floor with some others.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's still on the wall where I can see it from the kitchen table, or the living room! I'll always have it! I know the lithograph you mean, my grandmother had it in her dining room! I always like it. I wonder what happened to it?
DeleteSome artworks are like that. There's a certain attachment to it. It is a good painting. :)
ReplyDeleteI can see why this is a favourite It's beautiful; the horses, the colours
ReplyDeleteOh! I loved this poem and the painting. My room is full of such paintings that make me travel to distant places or to hidden places within me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous painting, and poem!
ReplyDeleteHorses make a landscape look more lovely.
