Melancholie

Is she saucy, frightened, arrogant, or angry?
Has she refused the mannequin's desires?
What were his true motives?
Perhaps she is playing hard to get.
Is it sunset or holocaust outside?
What is etched into his wooden scalp?
Do you agree that the skull is merely a hackneyed device?
Does the division of the window into quadrants symbolize the Cross?
If so, is the fabric of his clothes sacred or profane?
How do we gain control over the situation?
