At the first near edge,
the contour

OCCLUSION

continues.

T

One line terminates.
The other passes behind
without entering the record.

At the branching edge
the relation repeats—

behind
behind
behind

until the hidden middle
has been interrupted
more often than exposed.

Then haze.

No T.
No clean terminator.
Not even a point at which
the missing portion can be said
to begin.

It

vanishes

returns
under the same name.

AMODAL

No local color.
No texture.
No covered point
available for inspection.

Only the exposed ends,

still one object
through      .
