10.Blue Kitchen

Blue Kitchen

by Xanadu

Blue tiled wall and

black oven plate aside

Copper of utensils as bright as sun

shines among starry squares of blue-green

where the oven is blacker than

your skin when you don't know

Anyone round or square except

20th century furniture

Rearranged like an open museum

indeed decorated by casual wear

of excited women and men visitors

from East and West

Open window as Impressionist feature

le soleil brille et les couleurs sonnent *

on summer holiday in Normandie

after pandemic seemed to have gone

Garden returns as chaotic

as Monet's streak of paint

that draws an unexpected

whole of ensemble

Cubism explodes in colors

as real as everyday life

of painters and

their lovers.
