Depiction of Childhood
(After Picasso)
~ Franz Wright

It is the little girl
guiding the minotaur
with her free hand --
that devourer

and all the terror he's accustomed to
effortlessly emanating,
his ability to paralyze
merely by becoming present,

entranced somehow, and transformed
into a bewildered
and who knows, grateful
gentleness .......

and with the other hand
lifting her lamp.

===================================
Me thinks this painting titled "Minotaur with a Javelin and Woman Hostage" is the one
that is wrote about- (the poem has indeed an author's license and perspective 'specially what the title implies)
--looking for one that is closer to the words---

A link to Picasso's fascination with bulls and the Minotaur:

or else its all bull.
