Brown

it's not the roan of muted lust
and lacking the direct command of black...
an autumn ray let in by stained glass
to eulogize remains of grand days.

full shapes - serene and tranquil, nurture thoughts –
the ladies with their beads or water jugs.
i stand and hear Dali’s piquant cough
and Goya’s Maha’s smile and silver laugh.

like a pariah turn from fine glaze
of reticence and lace
to mindprint orgy of Kandinsky's tones
and want to prick my fingers
on a maze of bougainvillea thorns,
that out of brown earth,
strive up and formless --
form the quilt that is my thoughts.
