Open The Draperies, Inform The Cradles

We can’t fathom attitudes, the texture or flavor, gnawing at reflections; parted by rains, a parachute as foe—[one painting such friendship]. We pursue kindness, a taste of naivety, this credulous invention; motivated timely, as threshed wisely, failing to cultivate the dots. We abuse purity, as a tinge of infection, as something we must deflate. Its face is love; its portrait is venom; we indulge without seeing it; for love is measured, the petals of roses, where details remain camouflaged; as if to see you, would obliterate love—this trestle nigh to tip-over.
