the centerpiece —
pvc ceiling, lilac. honey-
mustard edging across daft
corners, hibiscus’ death of
colors, trimmings of desire
into drunk deals ~
~ wait it out. it turns blade-grey
and coughdrop-red, sequent-
ially, hear that song of bro-
ken lines & fickle curves
of the gluteal
— enfold,
when it turns bloody
and swift – breaks,
blues, gallows, dies –

Sometimes one tends to be too hasty to assume confusion reigns! Wait it out , yes!

Such powerful imagery in this poem! ❤ The reference to ‘hear that song of broken lines & fickle curves’ .. hints at desire and loss that move together interminably. You have such a beautiful way with words, Anmol 😊

Do the scenes in the poem indicate tragic happenings? That’s what I am thinking of.

They certainly need more seats in art galleries so you can absorb paintings rather than flit by them and not appreciate them fully. We can’t expect you to be voicing your observation when it is really needed to help us!

You’ve seen a story in this art work, one of dashed expectations and instability while trying to find soft place to land amid all the brokenness.

If it can be done, you have captured the image of Miro with your words.

I love that this reads like stage directions married the ingredients of a spell and they birth pure poetic magic. I’m always enchanted when a poem shows and does what it says through the shape of its own bones.
