Kanneliya undertones

Pic by Sakuna Gamage

The wide sweep tells

of large things broad 

the pretensions of the wide-angle

history's grandeur 

carves the boundaries of the licit,

but in the underbrush of life

as drop and skein

a color slip and parasite

there's another weaving

smiling at the broad brush

and strident painter 

of tall tales and kings,

that's narrative too;

softer though

in the revelation

of lesser anxieties

the subtext of foliage

and processes 

passed over for comment.
