i want to become
a Klimt woman
dangling
off the canvas
dripping golden light

一名克里姆特的女人
晃出到
滴著金色光芒
的畫布之外

  1. Pamela's sensually evocative tanka alludes to Gustav Klimt's the final and most fully representative work of his golden phase -- "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I," also called "The Woman in Gold." This is a good example of "ekphrastic tanka."
