Questions To Ask

By Subhangi Maity

Favorite color? Blue and yellow.

White and green.

Like hypnosis. Like a dream.

Mountains or beaches?

A palette mixing and mixing,

waves folding into light

like hope, like infinite,

boundaryless, slipping through fingers,

feet sinking in slow dissolving shapes,

then cliffs where air fractures sharp.

Coffee or tea? Warm mug in shaking hands,

steam like forgotten words.

Busy or quiet rooms?

How can I choose when all creation

Is the epitome of ineffability?
