Dying in Shades of Gray:
Collaboration with Penn Mysteries and Michelle Phillips- Standish
In a dying world, be industrious
The world stays vintage
shades of gray
Sculpted from clay
Dismal, and discontent
Images silhouetted
Things like clouds coincide
the concrete fact,
everything is subject to change except change itself
Do we focus on negative space
Or the blank?
In a dying world, be assiduous
The world stays vintage
shades of gray
Sculpted from clay
I see the dark,
Discouraging as expansive
imposing as disappointing
Where the unusual mind
is seen as usual
Not a optimist, naturally-
I gaze upon the globe
every day-
Instead, of getting stronger,
her strands of hair grays...
Nature’s immeasurable wisdom
she kept fading away
continually bland...
In a dying world, be sedulous
The world stays vintage
Shades of gray
Sculpted from clay
Displaced and Distant
repeatedly stabbed with a knife-
A mouth gapping open like a whale
Revels a mix
of black and white acrylic
like a wrecking ball,
she is letting out her content!
We are trapped in a dying world,
The world stays vintage
Shades of gray
Forced to face numerous
abnormalities
Non-domestic as a gray wolf-
All the while,
painting masterpieces
Sculpted from clay
Cemented in memory
Dying in infinite shades of gray...
