Gloves and the gaze

Animated glove crawling
on the marble top;
jacketed figure
leans on the railing
hands in mittens

he--- being watched
by the one in red
tucked in the mural;
multi- coloured
gloves hanging on a
drab wall
like the trophies;

the pulsating ennui
anticipation
the intense gaze
blobs of red drying
on the outer cloth,
well, well, the entire scene---
so unsettling
so eerily odd!
