Still life.

Vipassana

 


Dried, faded red
carnations on
an electric blue

tabletop, a dark
green avocado 
sliced open, 

revealing the
ripening inner 
canary yellow flesh 

and sienna brown
seed, and on the
wall above, a 

round clock—with 
bold black numbers
on a stark white

background—
that silently ticks 
every second.
