One spot out of line. 

Bound to a cage.  

When it becomes nothing,  

one less conformed. 

Horizons in monochrome, greyed.  

Dead. 

One step, one foot into, unknown.  

Thrash, Rash, Trash. 

Connected, Deflected, Rejected. 

Design, Refine, Align.  

Kerning, Learning, Yearning. 

Symmetry, Imagery, Infinity. 

One stroke, One brush. 

One pencil, One pixel. 

Thousands of purples:

violet, eggplant, heliotrope

A rainbow of hues peppered 

across the sea. Landscapes lined 

with trees. Beginning. 

Fists slamming against wood. 

Specks in sightline. 

Rage. Reverse.  

Behind glass.  

Within details. 

Create.
