'Thirteen Shades Of Blue' is my own,unpublished poem and I am not representing any other group.
My mail id is sivakamivelliangiri@gmail.com




Thirteen Shades Of Blue

Blue whirled out of each blank printed page
nobody knew the exact meaning.

Everyone's blue
became bold and tin soldiered.

Churning as in the 'Amritha'. Only the snakes
churned out each other's conception.

As the drama enacted, even those
who sat through did something.

Observing. Similarly being observed.
Is she on the look out for students for the 'CWW'?

The Railway station story had trains that left
and came, leaving a woman and child behind.

In the layers under the sea fisher folk
surfaced in riots of marine hues.

Songs were as blue as Quink
sometimes memory plays contrary.

A poet is blue washing her house
she is stepping in and out of wires.

And now the lady of the cats reads
her poems. Azure.

I never felt blue,only 'grey'
meaning coarse.

I let myself be the presence itself,soluble,
the poetry subsumed, more immediate, embracive.

I let go of situating myself in the 'poet' position
sat back and let my poem transcend.

Hi ryan,
