Beat Blue Green, by Ajay Kumar

Blue-Green Painting, by Ad Reinhardt (USA) 1948

Beat Blue Green

The ceiling spills over
a little its corner
 
dividing green and blue
butterflies kiss chase
 
mangoes sallow & square
snakes way into the blue 
 
sky foot of the world of 
which buildings like grey
 
rashes because  every morning
socks like earth knows your
 
heart will stab you with grass 
if naked foot a butterfly drops
 
dead it was not a kiss
an injection leaves of winter
 
are a sadness but I too am
just an only reflection
