It is a good thing we don't know What stands behind. Yet when it is such beauty as in this drawing I wonder whether the fear is less of the unknown is less. Or would the joy be greater because of desasters not yet happened, dignity not yet lost. Life and living to the fullest is the message here before the last betrayal in accepting the silver coins. Tony painted this in 1984 in Antwerp. Well maybe the guy is just a heavy tipper, like Tony was when he had money.
Unaware
he put the money
in her apron
Buying a smile
and gratitude
a moment’s understanding
a rapport
a touch of black and silk
a spark of youth
Unaware
she took the money
and surprised
she sold her
smile
