Frost Green

A headdress of green and blue feathers, built in thick strokes, takes almost the whole canvas. The face beneath it is small, dark, nearly without features.

In Brazilian Poems the faces often have no eyes. It is not absence; it is suspension, a figure caught between the Brazil I inherited and the one I rebuild from a distance. Here the ornament is what memory kept most clearly, and the person is still coming into focus.
