Eleutheromania isn't crazy at all

Straight lines or not?

Eleutheromania isn't crazy at all.

It is as petrichor or apricity to those who experience it.

There has to be more behind the black and white boxes,

that appear straight or not.

Interlocked fingers raise to avoid the blinding sunlight.

Smell of rain lifts into my nostrils as I hold liberation in my heart.

  • An intriguing poem and photo! I had to look up Eleutheromania & its pronunciation.🤔😊

    Oh, I love petrichor and it's lovely in the springtime up north when the snow melts. Apricity is also lovely and coming soon 😊 So is this a black background with white boxes, or white background with black boxes? And the tapering/ straightness is mesmerizing 👀
