Ena's Portrait

I am looking at a portrait of Ena;

the artist’s view of Ena;

the artist catching something of Ena

much deeper than facial expression:

her………………. contrariness;

but that’s not what the artist painted.

She painted Ena’s quizzical look:

that turn of eye, lift of eyebrow

that only a contrarian produces.

I see Ena’s likeness,

I know something of her mind,

and I’m wondering what was eating her.
