Colour

To-day
these sculptured shapes of colour
lie satin-smooth and shining
on the chopping board.
Voluptuous shapes of capsicum
sculptured to perfection.
Pools of flawless colour
in crimsons, yellow-golds and greens
 Too Vibrant
for a chopping board!
Return them to their woven basket
to blaze
among the darkly purple aubergines
for another day.
