Eva Mudocci
Salome, Eve, The Madonna with a violin
Edvard's queen of ire and desire
Eva's steamy death image
sinister, nude, looking down at the viewer
Deadly seductive, framed in a line of spermatozoa
swimming from a skeletal fetus
swimming from a skeletal fetus
Evangaline Hope Murdock
Italianized her English name
Muse and lover of Munch
Posed for Henri
I would have loved to hear you play your violin
witnessing the lines of music entwining the audience,
like the strands of your endless, long dark hair
reaching out to ensnare.
Tentacles ever reaching
choking poor emotionally gridlocked Edvard
and the audience, leaving them to imagine.
They are spellbound by your myth
the artists, feminists, romanticists
Devil Woman, let me be…
Sexual power and evil
Ye are one and the same.
