A Cubistic Color Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

A Cubistic Color

Rating: 2.7


The pale azure hue
Flanking its eastern neighbor
Strikes me with spiky angularity

Its diametrically opposite
Obtuse perspective repulses as if
A South-South or North-North poles

Butted head to head
And when I approach too close
They start vibrating a dance of infidelity

Each attempting to take the lead
The most puzzling effect
Judging by the sheen

Is the diamond window viewed obliquely
It appears adjacent to the rainbow
A Cirque du Soleil Bungee performance

In tiny incremental facets
Each reflecting different corners of
A kaleidoscopic universe

Viewed from a multitude of keyholes
One color absorbing the next
In one smooth continuous swallow

Regurgitating at the forefront
An oddly fashioned guitar
From whose entrails notes escapes

They come in waves
Opposite the painted moon
In the high noon position

But before they do they defy the
nickel plated stainless steel
to rust before chicken grow teeth
