An ekphrastic flag

 Flag
Jasper Johns (1954-55)

Unresolved in your heart
in the mind
in the body.
A collection forms together
like leaves in the autumn.
Fused together they lay.

Mr Orton gives Mr. Schrodinger a run for his money
Yes and no.
Light and Dark.
Positive and Negative.
Yet none of these they show.

Laid in a plan
of intricate design
as a whole showing a flag
in your eyes and mine
going out upon a limb.
