POINTILLISTA EKPHRASISTA

patterns
from
 points
 viewed as a whole
beauty
  revealed

 white
 visible between

  little dots
frozen forever

in
intermingled
       completeness


as our eyes
         fill the
                   gap

static light
       making a point

colours 
    in contrast
 one next
to another
   patiently painted
dab by dab
cyan magenta
yellow 
      illume 
 planes 
into
particles
    pigments 
 patches react
divisionist
   pointillist
 juxtapose
    into our eye 
  distinct colour
 flows
meticulous mechanical
the illusion
 into shape
  palettes 
 of  permanance
the fleeting 
  flies

luminosity lives 
Seurat, and Signac’s  
    legacy survives
