Dense sight cleared into pale continuation
Linear fault lines and pressure cracks felt at a distance, their magnifying blinding.
Certainty, crisp as frozen.
An endlessness, unclaimable.

Crumpling, only with closeness
Wrinkles, not unsmoothable.
Old lavender travelling upward
Not within spaces and folds
Closer to beside
Recreated shifted and distorted
Redistributed

Enamel.
Compound
Synthetic
Individual piles in shapes varied and indistinct accumulated casually.
Rotating like an object with unknown sides
