Femme Maison Poem by gershon hepner

Femme Maison



Femme maison, woman with a house
where normally you find a head.
This is not a perfect spouse––
I would rather see a bed.

Inspired by three oil and ink paintings by Louise Bourgeois, depicting a woman with a naked torso
And a house replacing the head.
