J.Y.M. Speaks (a poem)
The June 15th prompt in The Daily Poet: Day-By-Day Prompts For Your Writing Practice, by Kelli Russell Agodon & Martha Silano, is to write a poem in which “someone or something in a painting or a sculpture will be the speaker”. The only thing that came to mind that depicted “someone or something” that could be imagined to have a voice was Frank Auerbach’s Head of J.Y.M. II, which is the painting used for the cover art of Japan’s 1983 live LP, Oil On Canvas.
