Flame-tree abloom: dabbing red, the distance paling green - from the half-open window to a dreary room; Horizon waves bathed in gold dust - from a vessel floating in deep, enveloping seas; Smudged streetlamp ayonder a dark, rainy night; Love, blooming silent, outlying mundane life.

Outlying | Cubist Poem
Flame-tree abloom: dabbing red, the distance paling green - from the half-open window to a dreary room; Horizon waves bathed in gold dust - from a vessel floating in deep, enveloping seas; Smudged streetlamp ayonder a dark, rainy night; Love, blooming silent, outlying mundane life.
An attempt at a 'cubist poem' : multiple perspectives, emerging out of reflections on a single theme - in the three scenes depicted, something is outlying, and yet is in utter contrast to the nominal view, as implied in the last line as well.
