“TEA” after a painting by Henri Matisse

“Tea†after a painting by Henri Matisse
The gallery finally opened. She waited all morning, fingering the change in her pocket, looking at her watch, pretending to be fascinated by her fingernails. The gallery finally opened. North wall, light focused perfectly: two women talking intimately over teacups.  Matisse dreamed and his dream shimmers on the North wall of the gallery
Sound of steps on path Greenery stirs, flash of sunlight Summer suspended.
