Subjects - a poem by Florence Liberfarb...

I am never free

from a sudden intrusion

of an image in nature

or a structure

that is focused

in a perfect design,

and the shutters

of my mind

snap tightly,

and there we are,

the image and I

locked together

in a kind of agony.

Only sometime,

with pastel or oil,

in a clumsy way,

do I arbitrate.
