So t has this certain picture hanging in her office. It's right next to the door, which is directly opposite where I sit on the couch, so it's right in my line of sight. (t sits off to the left of me a little, as in not blocking it.) It gets to me, and I don't know why. I have mentioned it several times. Saturday I finally asked if I could take a picture of it on my phone, and she said "sure" so I did. I intend to write a poem about it - because it stirs so much in me and sometimes I get fixated on it and don't look at her when I'm talking and I forget what I'm in the middle of saying. I think if writing the poem about it doesn't help break my fixation with it, I'm going to go in there next time with a cloth to drape over it so I can't see the thing. It's an image of a woman with long, curly dark hair and it looks like she's wearing a plain white mask. that's it. but it's just so, well for lack of better words, hauntingly beautiful to me I want to just sit there and stare at the stupid thing the whole time. I'd share it here but I'm afraid it might freak people out.
