 When I applied it on the morose painted black wall; it highlighted a vivid contrast, 

The surface suddenly acquired a gaudy complexion; captivated stringent attention 
of the roving eye.
 
When I smeared it on the surface of the airfield tarmac; it bifurcated the entire terrain scrupulously into zones, 
Made life immensely simple for the pilot; giving adequate options to the pilot to maneuver his winged bird.
 
When I mixed it with plain pellucid water; it transformed into a curry of 
immaculate starch, 
And I was easily able to whitewash the periphery of the dilapidated mansion; with magnanimous strokes of my serrated brush.
 
When I threw it nonchalantly on the earth; it inconspicuously blended with the soil, 
Impregnated the mud with innocuous tinges of sparkle; looked spotless in the assemblage of infinite dirt.
 
When I released it high in the air; it cascaded down painstakingly, 
Eventually settling and juxtaposing with my hair; rendering my features to appear comically distorted.
 
When I hurled it at unsuspecting individuals; they acknowledged my gesture with frivolous smiles, 
Although they inevitably scratched their eyes with their palms; as the granules caused pertinent irritation.
 
When I applied a frugal amount of it on my rosy tongue; it looked as if covered with snow, 
Although some of it managed to infiltrate into my nose; and I thunderously sneezed.
 
When I voraciously rolled in it; inscribing wild designs with my fingers, 
I resembled a talented cartoon from the Disney world; and the neighboring children laughed till tears rolled down their cheek.
 
When I washed my hands; vigorously rubbing it all over the skin of my fingers, 
They came out meticulously clean; with the last traces of grime now completely
annihilated.
 
But I think that my chalk powder served me the best; when I moulded it into a
composite bar of handsome chalk, 
Used it for imparting judicious knowledge; sketching a conglomerate of love symbols with it on the crystal blackboard.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
