I love this painting. It speaks volumes to me. In honor of the emotion it stirred in my imagination, I wrote this in the painting's voice...as I hear it.
Pain, Hunger, Shame
If I open my eyes
what will I see?
If I succumb to the need
What does that make me?
I am a man!
not allowed to indulge the luxury
of perversion.
yet still,
I am a man
Trapped.
