i have often thought
what The Thinker
was thinking
perched upon granite
or perhaps, antiquated tree stump
clad in nothing
but tendons and muscle, striated
he is solemn
one fist clenched
holding the weight of his world
upon forearm of steel
beneath fine jawline, resting
with right shoulder
bent on left thigh
feet apart, toes grasping dirt
his calves, perched taut
to tree
a frown is apparent
and confusion graces his face
as his left arm lie limp
upon left knee
holding his patella
as if it were
his heart
broken

That's very picturesque :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Aamir, I need to add a picture, do you think? Or leave it as is?
ReplyDeleteI say leave it as it is :) Just give the reference to "The Thinker" in a footnote or under the title.
ReplyDeleteThank you Aamir.
