Lola, the Artist’s Sister, in the Studio in Riera de Sant Joan

Pablo Picasso, 1900

where is my face the light
of my features displaced 
onto rooftops golden 
as morning loaves baking
in the Barcelona 
sun beside me the panes
of an open window
liquefy my feature-
lessness with their trapped beams 
as my shadow spills gray 
down the neck of my dress
