The Woman in the Photograph

Coco Chanel



Why does the woman in the photograph
Have such deep black eyes?
They are unreal,
Unsettling,
Haunting.
I can’t help but stare at those eyes,
And irrationally, I feel rude,
Though she is just a photograph.
So I look away,
Then look again;
She is still watching me.
Why? Of all the people here,
She studies me, intently.
Still deciding . . .
No, it is not me
For whom she searches.
And though this conclusion eases me,
I admit I fear greatly
For the one she seeks,
With those deep black eyes.
