looking at a painting in a gallery

 looking at a painting in a gallery


the distance 

finding the number of paces

for the painting to speak

not to shout or whisper

not to be shared

or to be lost in the crowd 

to sit long or to stand

how long to wait for the voice 

or to realise that no voice

has enrapt you 

to become the painting

to look them in the eye
