shade - pencil to paper, brown skin
empty - spaces unfilled, voice absent
eyes - one undone, black and calm
outline - unfinished, complete

The shadow is pulled in by lines, pencil drawing the darkness unseen
Shades made on paper that once was life, brown skin sparsely colored in
Spaces unfilled leave an empty spot you once were, voice absent and not to be heard again
One eye undone, one eye black and brown and calm
A complete unfinished outline of 26 years with 70 more never had]]> 2022-03-15 17:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/carolinesharkey77/duvjpirmtmt9al8w/wish/2096477417 https://padlet.com/carolinesharkey77/duvjpirmtmt9al8w/wish/2096481316 History - Knowing, Legacy
Layers - Shadow, Light
Texture - Complexity, Feeling
Truth - Reality, Myth
Beauty - Richness, Hues

Knowing the history of our legacy 
The beauty and richness of our hues
Shadows of light and layers
The complexity of textures of feelings
Our truth makes reality out of myth

Flow - hand free, waving sun
Large - face lost, body demanding
Power - force bound, chest released
Vulnerable - muscles revealed, head covered

Fall Eventually 

The body surrenders, trusts falling eventually
Flows fluid near the sky, hand free, waving at the sun 
The body's large, demanding, face lost between nets and rays 
Power, force bound beneath feet, tucked clean between knees, chest released to the heat and our noise
Vulnerable, muscles revealed, his head covered, how does he see?

Isolated - Singular, Abandonment
Illuminated  - Glowing, Uncovering
Claustrophobic - Suffocating, Tight
Elevated - New Thinking, Opposites.

The tight situation  presented is becoming suffocating.
Abandonment comes in more ways than one.
This blanket feels like a sheet of ice fighting to keep warm against this cold pavement.
Though, under this covering, glows  humanity.  
In search of a new way of thinking to extinguish this...]]> 2022-03-15 17:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/carolinesharkey77/duvjpirmtmt9al8w/wish/2096493647 carolinesharkey77 https://padlet.com/carolinesharkey77/duvjpirmtmt9al8w/wish/2096496985 2022-03-15 17:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/carolinesharkey77/duvjpirmtmt9al8w/wish/2096496985 https://padlet.com/carolinesharkey77/duvjpirmtmt9al8w/wish/2096505872 Duality 

Blackness is beautiful and Vibrant of color 

Our perspective is diverse but straightforward 

Our blackness has a connection to everything
