"Freud Meets Winter Queen"

This is how he breaks the ice,

With a joke and her face almost

Cracks into a smile. What do

They know that we don't?

What does the psychoanalyst's

Grandson see beneath the play

Of light, the Queen Face, Queen

For a day or - hard to imagine-

A dress-up that lasts sixty years.

It's hard to tell if the diamond

tiara in this portrait is real, but

he shows us the lady is real.

She gets the joke. At the end

Of the day, Queens and painters

Lie side by side in the ground.
