Saturate Me with Logic

Saturate me with logic

Sketch me a portrait of who you think we are.

Your lesson’s far but use your charcoal to fade the edges.

Watch your wrist and spare the pages.

Dress me in your fondest layers.

Watch your bliss but wear my pride

Spare your expectations, I’ll come alive.

Gentle strokes will ease my wedges.

Insist on contours, spend your time inside.

You watch your breath,

watch your tracing,

mind the effort, mind the lines;

bracing yourself for your triumph–

Dancing around my silhouette like a ballerina.

Graceful moves.

Graceful moves.

Sketch me a portrait of your logic

I need help understanding
