On a Painting 1

On a Painting Hey, what are you up to? here is a sliver of earth between two gravid rivers ? Swelling with milk they quelled dyslexic lands that dried and cried in nobody’s tongue. they too had a fateful beat. only it was random or circardian. Obscurity is clarity, here and now, of mitochondrial stuff. methodical minimalisation inside a faceless river of black milk. languorous flow to wet phenomenal banks. Who would not notice the hyperlinks dripping nectar? like running nose, perhaps, in a manner of speaking. they flow into a fulfillment, Or into wind-swept islets! Inspiration: The Frida Kahlo Painting “ My nurse and I” By S.Jagathsimhan Nair, 12 Aug 13 For Cyndi's contest.
