Subversive Markers

“Banana,” “Mint” and “Lavender”

showcased in “Prussian Blue” –

four monikers on markers

lend four points-of-view to hue.

But I must use them ruthlessly --

defy that prettiness:

be only satisfied when they

suggest a psychic mess

of facial ambiguities

which leave an open door --

averse to any labeling

that doesn’t promise more.
