A. Jayaprakash Jayaprakash Panicker - The Colour of Affluence

Описание

This flowering is really painful. Philosophically she bares herself And puts on a cover, transparent. I feel like closing my eyes at ‘hers’. The mood she made in me was mild Like gold and its lenient luxuries. Why is there no leaf or a little shade To be put on her here and there? I feel shy seeing her clad only in gold. What else has she ever had to bare? But this, ‘that I have nothing to hide’ What is bare, you know, is beautiful. The Vis(hu) ion of this tree makes all eyes glow; and all the ones who try to frame her ‘Yellow’, blissfully happen to ask, out of pure innocence; What, y’know, what’s the colour of affluence? She sheds it like still-minted coins of all dimensions. *Vishu is a festival of the Hindus, and during this period a tree with yellow followers blooms herself all over leaving no leaves on her but only flowers. This flower is a sign of wealth and prosperity for the upcoming year. This tree paints all streets yellow and makes the whole state go gold. A.
