of black and white i have become acquainted
shifting material tonality contextually alighting itself in emotion
the falcons’ tumbling play from the high hill cliff top nearby
between myself and the evening sun, i became blind
your overarching display tantamount to simple exquisite perfection
as well timed as it was
.
there is black
and there is black
.
there is white
and white
.
a way to describe
imperfectly
a fleeting perception of this place and that
of an occurrence personally experienced
a mere scribble by comparison
a fumbling juxtaposition
in the face of complexity
.
it will just have to do
it is all i have
beyond itself here
.
i do not wish to be spoon-fed
the spoon is soiled with black
.
a black arches awaits nightfall on white bathroom tiles
.
i have had another 5 minutes of fame
when will it end?
