A lone figure under water
Perhaps
the photographer’s wife or lover
She
is reflecting
A
sacramental zone of ritual
This
event could be taking place anywhere
She
is reflecting
While
drifting gracefully downward through water
Bubbles
rising from her upturned face
She
assumes the posture of Nijinsky leaping
In
this very sculpturously composed picture
The
woman is concentrating hard with good reason
She
is reflecting
Her
melodramatic pose
Owes
much to expressionistic aesthetics of the 1920s
She's a presence floating in a submerged landscape
Which
is no more than a setting
Her
personality is not degraded
In
the presence of her nakedness
She is full of reflection
A fullness emboldened
By
ancestors to whom
Deportment
came as second nature
Her
countenance is invested with actualities
Too
affecting to bear
