Half an egg for a face,

two stuffed olives for eyes,

An M, a W, and a slash for lips

An eyebrow curves, dives, dips,

and becomes a nose,

two slashes for brows, and

seven sticks, four curved,

suggest hair, a woman,

one half her face a bird’s wing,

the beak at her third eye,

three eyes, half a bird,

half a woman,

black lines on a white background,

simply suggestive,

line drawing–

Picasso.
