[bodytext] => Kahlo is a “blue-house” colour Although not necessarily blue. Neither is it Huckleberry, Hydrangea or powder. Mind you, Kahlo may well be Huckleberry I’m not too sure But it’s definitely not bluebonnet, wedgwood or ice Kahlo could never be bluebonnet. Kahlo is more Acapulco gold Or burnt Roman ochre Or even Spanish ochre With touches of burgundy, nutmeg and bougainvillea. Kahlo is a life of wracking pain Metal rods and deep abdominal wounds Amputations and substance abuse. Kahlo is bloody births and deaths Foetuses Corpses Disembodied organs The elimination of skin as a physical barrier And the invasion of the body by external objects Kahlo is a seductive grin As an incinerator door blows open To reveal a body sitting bolt upright Hair on fire Blazing like a halo Kahlo is the sub-personalities Of real suffering and mythical artwork Of bisexuality and communism All connected by joint circulatory systems Kahlo is Mezcal with chilli Dried citrus peels Red pepper Cedar And cigar leaf Woody notes And heat sneaking up fast. Kahlo is pink mountains of shrimp in the markets And barrio fiestas Where exotic Tehuana women with flowers in their hair Dance with rhythm and dignity While their long rabona skirts Billow out around them Lo que el agua me ha dado Kahlo is the colour of wild people and free thinkers It is affairs with Russian revolutionaries The wives of French poets Famous actresses Spanish and American avant-garde artists And even Japanese sculptors Frida Kahlo is the colour of legends Myths And cult figures Madonna and Robert de Niro are blue-house Although, rather sadly, Jennifer Lopez is not. “Diego on my mind” is Kahlo coloured. I hope the end is joyful And I hope never to come back.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
