Puget Painting

Pearls in the palette

for the nacre clouds of heaven:

a sufficiently infinite range

in monotones of lavender grey blue white

to convey the shifting tantra,

the meditation of transforming shapes,

islands peaceful as purple cows.

How to illustrate

the sibilant trill of a bird

never before heard,

show the shadow of wings seen from above,

the crows' flight

surprising as black handkerchiefs

flapped to life.
