Crumbling black brick
with white lettering
Index finger smokestack
Dismantled machines
Lost workers
Instruments of color creation
Kindergarten perceptions
of broccoli stalk trees and beaming
suns
an artist's rendering gauzy scenes
of a Provence countryside
cylinders of orange, mauve and maroon
poured, molded, dried
cut, packaged shipped
opened in rooms of A, B, C, 1, 2, 3
abandoned on a June afternoon
a worn palette of nubs
rolling around
in a busted box
