Etchings

ETCHINGS
 strokes
whorls&
stains
cropping
  close
 to the
 frontal
plane

intense
insistent
 strange
piercing black
beneath
anguish
in isolation
calm
upright
&
 unaltered


NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
