Etcetera 4

A Poem by Anand Sehgal

An unmindful , grazing Zebra;
A shocking holy bath;
Magic and a shivering donkey !

Heaps of worn, cliched masks ;
A predestined, welcome gale;
Gales of loud laughter !

A single spotlight and many men;
A goldfish and two male cats;
A meteor coming closer !

Increasing breathing rate ;
Perspiration, a glass half full ;
Bed sheet with patterned
stains of salt !

This is one very random party! While I am still trying to worry about the Zebra becoming the donkey, I am smitten by the goldfish and two male cats. :D
Kidding aside, I love your crowd and the way you describe their pretense and many masks. It is beautifully absurd and very enjoyable. :)

There is a sublime absurdity to the poem that creates a totally surreal image.

Indeed a Serio-comic party. You got it ! :)
Through the ripples of imagery I see beauty in words that linger in a hollow head resounding, sublime! Excellent read and write.

Thank you dear Poppy. myself too a fan of metaphors and imagery like you :)
I'm afraid I don't quite understand. I'm poor in interpreting deep poems such as this. ;) Take it as a compliment. :)
