Poetry #285

BLEED THROUGH LAYERS

End,
Last rooftop,
It was good.
Break!
Laugh,
Looking
Drawing.
What seems different?
A collage,
Bleed through layers,
Visible area fade.
To other's overlays,
Number represent
Period painting,
Larger,
Global canvas externalized,
People involved,
Process producing
Simultaneously,
The audience !
The cast!
The location!
The costs!
The presentation!
The players!
The show!
Plan unfoldment,
Give me
The map,
There!
