Invisible Cities - "Lesyeux"

As viewed from above, the city of Lesyeux is modelled on the impression of a human eye. A perfect circle of black office buildings jostle in the centre, forming a pupil as depthless and two dimensional as patent-leather. Surrounding the circle is a ring of water, dyed a deep blue, representing an azure iris. A bridge, painted in corresponding blue connects the island of the pupil to the mainland, forming a point of access over the swimming swirling iris.

On the mainland of Lesyeux, the pavements and buildings are constructed of white gleaming tiles. The porcelain coloured houses here are considered to be the most desirable because of their clean looking exteriors. The citizens of the Upper-Classes have claimed these as their own. The black, dirty, sooty streaks of the lashes form the colonies and workplaces of the Working-Classes. The jaundiced, filmed eyes are forced to live here, right on the edge of the city.

Vision is terribly important in the city of Lesyeux, everyone is a pair of eyes, floating up over the pavement. No citizen of Lesyeux is a perfect, tangible being. They're reduced to mere eyeballs, all they have is the power of sight, they can only move around and see.
