Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Monday With Blue Brushes

Still life.  What bite have my grapes and plums?
I capture the glaucous coating — the powdery residue.

A fairytale gown needs just the right godmother-dusting of azure.

The sparkling suds and frothy thrust! The concoction of a great day
— my brush reveals teal and Caribbean waves. 

I long to drip my palette into deadpan eyes.
Her passion invigorating a sensual stimulation.
Without God’s transcendent palette,
the chameleon must wear zaffre.

I muse…
