The Art Of Understanding Poem by Diana van den Berg

The Art Of Understanding



There I was
in chameleon colours
avoiding the carefully chosen words
to preserve obscurity
as you advanced and retired
in quiver-heart song and sinuous dance.

Sometimes red and yellow
can merge into a tremble-orange sunset
where dawn and dusk
reach out and touch
across the day
and slip together
into the shadows
of the night
and
deliciously
out of sight.
