Keith Nunes


In the window #1

Colourful language

The pristine purpling of prideful patois
The florid bellowing of oranges and lemons
Instilled with tints/dappling/phiz

Pigmenting by numbers
On a wash of dialogue

Speak and you’ll be blushed by splashing
Wrapping tongues around rouge/rubify/rubricate

The stains of shouted shading
Imbued with lustrous leanings of love

Colourisation draws in the semantic complexity
Of chroma/complexion
Drawn to a last-word-closure
With a colour swab all lacquered and dyed

Distinctly indistinct

Awkwardly immobile
Causes super-glued on
To comic strip lapels
‘I’ll grant you a hybrid is tough to dislodge’ says he

Her blueberry face
Lightening with age
‘Whichever war
There are always medics’ says she

They change the air
Carry it to the open wound
Set it free on the breeze-away
‘Now who’s breathing’ says she rhetorically

Percussional tap on hollow head
‘See
See
Told you everything
Wants to escape’ says he sensing a great loss of direction
