We fade to others,
in the shade find
Liberation
Square to them
Diamonds to us
Stark black and white
Produces the internal
Rainbow shadow
Where sharp lines on
Outsides
Be the ruse for
The melding that
Beckons
One day the lines
join in the corner
To dazzle others to
Say wow
The spectrum
Has stark shades
For the angles that
Make our kaleidoscope
