An Artist's Sketch

An empty canvas on display
 alabaster slivers streaked pittings
  bleached pasty pearl incised matte
waiting;
 monochromatic fragments pale
  chaotic free flow rigid yet confined
released in inspirations somber
 light and dark
  contained insipidness
sketching life nightmare and dream fantasies.
