Head of a Catalan Peasant

Homage to Joan Miro






In the National Gallery

Just beyond the Motherwell

Is the yellow painting by Miro.

Black and red circles

Cover her outstretched hands.

A blue star sits above her left shoulder.

Her face is red

And her brown skirt dances.

A lady with yellow hair

watches across the pale gold room.

She wears a yellow dress

Her yellow leather shoes

were woven in Paris.

This is the head of a Catalan Peasant.
