They met at her husband's estate
Chance meeting they called a date
And the ball they hosted
Ended late
Picked up an interest in art
She needed subject, she played the part
She captured such lust and passion
Anonymous is just another word for woman
She painted her, she was her muse
At least that's how she's referred to
In the letters they wrote
But never signed
Historians call them really good friends
Judging by the way they lay in the same bed
And the way her peers ask: where is your husband
Anonymous is just another word for woman
Through the annals of art history
Canvas work and poetry
You think we'd been taught better
But we weren't
Anonymous is just another word for
Do we really need another word for
Anonymous is just another word for
Queer, black, outcast, living under the ruling class
