Monochromatic Grating



Meditative steps through
Fresh talcum of snow
Through the dark and light linear stripes

Is ennui
A predicament of man alone?
Cold wind, freezing rain,
Or overcast dark evening late fall
Formless leaded clouds
Do they bother the feathered couple?
The lady is asleep weightless
With beak tucked in her chest
She has no cares - floating in sublime peace
Peace of dreamland
Why not?
Her Cygnus is right beside her
Showering affection and 
Covering with a blanket of security
And serenity

Thought of feeding some nuts
But, then changed my mind quickly
Why disturb that elegant
Lovely peace of the couple?
Cannot intrude the zone of
That intimate hamsa-dwaya

In times past
These slits would shine with colors
Splatter with rainbow painted droplets
Who knows whether there would
Be colored lights this time
With the falling Hedges
And the subliming subprime MBS
Who knows whether
This holiday season will be
Chromatic or monochromatic
