Drawing

Lines and shapes.
Curves of perfect cure.
Arcs of sensual pleasure
stroked by the pencil's clean
and precise tip.

Empathy with form,
moving the hand as the eye traces.
Perfect placement of shapes in places.
Thin as a razor's tip
slicing the paper in sectors of shade.
Shining the world to page as made.

Forehead wrinkled,
and eyes wide stare.
Intensive glare from the iris lamps.
The outline mage.
Must draw well.
See shapes in shade.
Laying each perfect line
to page.
