dove:imagine a flower whose bud is a bird [unlike my usual bird=evil scheme, this dove is simply hope]. kill the bird. kill hope. enter doubt. to kill hope is to enter doubt. the death of peace of mind lay at the feet.
eye and heart: it is often difficult to see around the emotions accumulated in one's mind.
yellow boy:cowardice [use of yellow]fighting to break away, thinking inside the box, heartless, angry
yellow girl:yielding [use of yellow], fighting back tears and words, confusing emotions with thoughts, falling
powerlines:distance
drowinging green girl:fear, hopelessness
footprints:endless mental and emotional pacing, evolving, but never going anywhere
bleached tree:the end. famine, drought
white curls:coy social games, holding back urges
yellow face with wound:acknowledging the other side of the story and regretting one's own contribution to the mutual grief
