dichroic delusions




sometimes life
is shades of orange and pearest yellows
windows shut, doors locked
windows locked yellow, a splinter filled framework
little blues (can not find the blues)
there - masked behind the oranges
behind the decayed crumbling - a dried out
layer cake, (blues) beneath a surreal grasshopper -dead
mistaken as a living thing, mistaken
risen from the melting 
glass of my dichoric delusions

  7. The sharp dissonance of this piece adds an additional layer to the angst of the words. Great construct!
