/// Here Two Ladies are seen in a Room.
One lost half of her yellow costume.
Her arm gestures are odd,
not quite shielding her bod.
There’s a baby bump there, I presume.
/// Or perhaps she is merely distressed
to be bare at both belly and breast.
(She should know Reinitz fails
to paint many details,
and she may as well be fully dressed.)
/// The lady who’s seated wears more.
She looks not straight at us. At the floor.
She appears deep in thought.
“Is a lesson here taught?
Am I after, or am I before?”
