Abstract distractions, colours, light,

And yet the draw, of black and white.

Those tones that hide a core of grey,

So vibrant here, they hold all sway.

A complex palette, a touch forgot,

Its central piece, a Gordian knot.

With deep regard, discerning eye,

An absence felt, that flutters by.

A closeness brief, with touch so soft,

To raise this work of art aloft.

Complete? Not quite, one thing amiss,

That final gesture, that gentle…
