More from *ckp

reciprocity
Give a llama, receive a llama
neither allowed to give a llama to anyone else
nor allowed to receive one from anyone else

that's reciprocity known as monogamy
believe it to be love, and live happily forever

tender money, buy oranges
that's reciprocity known as commerce

misery of unrequited love?
takes two to tango
reciprocity is irrelevant

social debt?

my self doesn't extend beyond myself[selves]
period

leave it out of I-me-mine, please
our love is exclusive and excluding
two of us unto ourselves
period

some happen to be socially oriented
as some are gay, some are bi
period

it's the same as 'loving' someone,
only some are
an Indian city
the chauffer adeptly circumvents the gentle elephant on the road
stops just short of touching the truck in the front
school-children squeeze through the gap
to continue their leisurely walk despite heavy bags
a biker misses our car mirror by a whisker
overtakes us from the wrong side
to vanish into
the rushing traffic lights, the  stationary traffic lights
[trying to impose order when working]
the garish city neons, the brazen marble-clad shops

the sky is a luminous mica canopy
visibly changing colours
[making me acutely miss my painting]
far off dark clouds foretell likely showers

screaming hoardings and hawkers,
my thesaurus
Golden!

not that human noise is anything to drool upon
but the chameleon silence is deadlier

withdrawal into cocoon
admonition, arrogance, insolence
dismissal, ridicule, humiliation
refusal, rejection, complicity
impotent rage, cowardice, resignation, surrender
insensitivity, indifference

a closed door, an insurmountable wall,
a deaf ear to screams,
an end of screams

an assertion of and wilting before power

not that I like silver more
I like gold even less
omnipresence
Every night,
there is a large shadow of the top of a tree on the french doors
sometimes still, sometimes swaying gently in the quiet
a soothing, welcome presence

switch the room light on
it subsides, doesn't go away

vexing,
that it should remind me of some giant human form
an existential outlook
blood is thicker than water, eh?
not when it comes to betrayals

breath in the same league
pumping in the putrid outside
day in day out
from day one

contaminating the body while sustaining it
until it too becomes a traitor
denial is the best policy
deal only with the external reality
deny the internal one
abdicate the internal-implied responsibilities
forsake its decision-making
if unresolved issues are never going to be resolved, let them bloody pester
though they have a tendency to spread their venomous tentacles to the body
denial has to work.

Is the character in blue asking questions to the super-human black faces? Is it something like Ingmar Bergman's Silence of God(s)? I love the colours and the contrast!

Yes
'asking questions' is an apt reading.
Bergman goes much deeper I think
Here it is just soldiers with guns confronting a woman in namaz in desert, at least I intended it in that limited sense.

thanks for the feed-back, as always, Iustina.

You're very much welcomed! :)

So it's a dialogue of a civilian with the participants of war then?...

Brilliant and on the edge, as usual... :)

yes a dialogue if possible with merchants of death.

you know Iustina, you are one of the rare viewers who make the effort of making a painting worth it. I am not saying this emptily, or to flatter you, I really mean it.

This one to me seems a bit ominous for some reason.
