COUNTRY WEDDING
~Berthe Morisot, 2019
Oil on canvas
Stacked blocks of whiteness
narrow to a steeple.
A white tent stretches
over blue shade. Shapes
of color clothe the guests.
All around is green.
In the midground,
five children scamper
with two yellow dogs.
Close to the frame,
two women— one
in red boots— and three
men are playing bocce.
Their shadows are long.
Deep in the trees
a robin starts a song.
