The Girl in the Painting

She stares
at another 
of her selves --
when at 3
she sat
at a table laden
with figures
across from the woman
who limn
the girl's
first portrait --
and she hangs
next to another
of her selves --
when at 16
she sat
with her Martin
00021 guitar
while her brother
sketched, then
painted her portrait.
This one, 
the 12-year-old
with the neighbors' dog,
and the others
watch the woman
descend the steps
and wonder
Who is she?
