"Crouching Nude in Shoes and Black Stockings, Back View" (1912) by Egon Schiele via the Metropolitan Museum of Art


​by Charlie Baylis


i saw you in the tate st ives
eating an iced bun       
completely naked

worth your weight in wind chimes


the man on the moon is faux

you whispered             
as you waxed golden pubes

in neat little strips


i wrote my name under your portrait
