strong and irreversible

silent

"hand study(self)" ⸘jason alan‽ colored pencil on paper 2025

architecture between the mob and liminal

control was the lie and the cross

someone said it was good once upon a time

the intention looked like the best

before it got away from us and drew breath alone

after what happened on the bridge

when they were done playing but that fire stayed lit

told to play in traffic

precipitous and twisted are their faces

spun the wrong way if nobody seems to answer

but the house is totally lit

rainbows come from some thunderstorms

natural forces for the glorified humanatic

strong, irreversible, and silent

can't force greatness or ambitions

never forget it.
