STILL LIFE
Ashok Niyogi
A generous bowl
In subdued Moreno craftsmanship
Placed on wood of Scandinavian pallor
Berries and cherries of varied genre
Spilling over like literary forms
Artfully
Banana as Ikebana
Pineapple for thorny heat
Tangy tangerine
An African mango in solitary
Melons carefully desecrated
Into Halloween shapes
Lemons in demure yellow
Clever light glinting on crystal
Discreet gold outlines
Only old money is discerning
Electronic sentinels keep watch
Over the virtual hothouse
You are the millionth visitor to this exhibit
On the Embarcadero
You wait for the fruit to ripen
And be ready to eat
