Spatial Relationships

just a couple of nits and that's all, the last stanza was a gem, the last line has enough ambiguity in it to make the reader think of more than one reason why he's pulling away.
the first line is one of the best opening lines i've read. the finger paiting thing you have going on is also excellent. i magine the 1st person with paint on their face as she tries to glean information from the study.
thanks for an excellent read

My lover Kali has no eyes great first line, like a wet fish to the face, it wakes the reader up and says....are you listening?
but draws my face in glyphs
of synapse - for me this line feels awkward.
arms outstretched
and tipped with fingers dripped in char great image.
she grasps the canvass should it be canvas?
in bunched waves -
futile strokes of burnt umber
like she's drowning, grasping waves of sea. not sure the 2nd waves work well enough, why not ' grasping the sea"?

I cannot give her light
or tell her why,
as she leans her sightless
eyes toward me,
a flower pressing to the coolness of the earth,
I pull away.
