/// Emil Wikström, (the sculptor you see),
In His Studio works In Paris.
His fiancée, who drew
this, is artistic, too,
but their marriage was never to be.
/// Dora Wahlroos, the painter, was living
with Emil here in France. Did misgiving
turn to hatred and malice
when he wed her friend Alice
three years later, or was she forgiving?
/// Did he love Dora, or was he faking?
And just what is this sculpture he’s making?
An amoeba that split?
It may well be that it
is the kind that improves after breaking.
/// Emil’s sculptures were stuck in a rut;
a girl’s butt would be shaped like a butt.
Then he thought up this fact:
His work could be abstract!
Though he chiseled no corners were cut.
