Pierre Bonnard
The Open Window
The Dream
He dreamed of
an open window.
"A vagina," said
his psychiatrist.
"Your divorce," said
his mistress.
"Suicide," said
an ominous voice within him.
"It means you should close the window
or you'll catch cold,"
said his mother.
His wife said nothing.
He dared not tell her
such a dangerous dream.
