THE O'KEEFFE STUDIO
(1887-1986)

Georgia O'Keeffe's studio
is soundproof
knowing the artist
is often aloof
in her underground wonder
from a showy landscape
of miracle flowers
Freudian critics feel is sexual
buoyed by their tall growing
knowing its ironical perspective
others feel is merely intellectual
in a textual call
of an eccentric force
as geometric shapes
from a coy iconic power
in a retrospective exhibition
at her later still life
from flora portraits
at the Tate.
