Greek Isles

Colorless boxes under the sun Built not for beauty Fast cast for fun Sky above profoundly blue Unsated desire of color's due Wanton light of paradise blight empty canvas painfully bright White stark Contours chromatic Stucco frosted Glare and glow Rainbows die Squinting eye Monochrome palette Swarming May Fly Whitewashed blossoms Racing to die White color hungry to be free Impotent spectrum Empty image of color lost Rainbows sacrificed to cost A too bright gallery unfulfilled Row and rows of empty canvas fill
