SALEM
Siân Owen
were you
the Welsh Mona Lisa.
The morbid picture on the wall
the iconic rebel
against the piety of the chapel.
Did you purposely arrive ten minutes late
for the morning service
to ensure you had a
maximum audience to
suggest a comment on
the sin of vanity depicting
the devils face in the folds
of your shawl.
What I would really like to know
were you
frivolous or just a cold and morbid Welsh work of art
Siân Owen?
Avie.
