Yes, even I agree with Linda. What is more striking is L3 that zooms out a whole scenario of colours that are either traditional or raw, translucent or opaque, etc. And L 3 is a surprise element as you call it the 'spark-plug' Kala.. One can write it this way too

.

midnight jazz ...

not every colour

has a name

.

But the whole effect would just lay off. Beautiful poem; a rich and the depth of the midnight jazz and its environment creates another mood and as we read 'not every colour has a name' I feel the poet wants to convey something else, and it just stops midway.

Beautiful ku. The first two lines seem contradictory to the name specified on L3, but still Ls 1 & 2 are strong enough to get the message across. Nice poem.

I agree that it’s a beautiful poem. For me, what opens the space in the cut is the sense-switching from vision to sound.
