Giacometti's Diego Seated in the Studio
-Shakuntala Sunuwar
Diego
you sit alone
You are
a solitary figure
framed
within the murky space
But you
emerge
from the painting
from the emptiness
Diego
you are your
brother's expression.
Alone
Cramped by
emptiness
Rough lines
etched around
Running up down
side to side
Cage you
Trap you
The same hue
as everything else
You are translucent
But you don't blend
nor emerge
You defy
disintegration
Drawn by lines
and curves
Surrounded by
smudges
You are the
concentration of tension
But your eyes
empty hollow eyes
stare out
They are watching me watching you
