Outside

First look's right hook

In the jaw gapes,

Gobsmacked.


You've left your stain 

On everything. Awash,

Forest glints, muted.

Field of view flattens,


An inter-dimensional chart.

Holding up grey, branches snap,

Gravity in still forms breaks,

Negative space worm holes


Into worlds unthought,

Forceful, Sibilant. Even

My desire for Life

Quells under your spell.


A subdued purple palette

only the painter appreciates,

As Varied Thrush hangs

Haunting deets in silence deep.
