Goldfish, 1911 - Henri Matisse
They peer at the
World around
Mouths agape at
Distorted refracted
Images and reflections
(Closing in)
Colour filtered through
Paradigmatic glass
Bending the outside
(Closer)
Confinement has never been
So liberating
They swim and they go
(Nowhere)
I see the world
As does a goldfish
(In a bowl)
