The black won't match the blue.
left with no choice, save to
stain the bodies bright with red
tireless workers build walls up
around a heartless, long since worn out city
that's fitted with a single
lonely, depressing, one-way door
leading out but never back in
limbs, they pile, walls they surround
gray--not black
now mars the blue
covered still with red inside
red down deep, seeps into the soul

To Live and Die

Every mark I try to make,
Turns into a scar;
Maybe I should just be a wallflower,
to live and die,
Till I return to the nightsky, a star.

Omens.

Omens.

A twiggy brown deadness
Is tapping my window.
A flowerless wisteria
Waits sighing for Spring.
Small underskin budlets
Are ready for bursting.
Winter's end omens
Means greening draws near.
New underground movement
Starts wrapping the sightless.
White rootlets are marching
Towards their new year.
Spring's deadly invasion
Starts killing wind's eastness
Bloomless persuasion
Begins new petalling.
An underneath breathing
Sighs silent yet thirsty
For first taste of lifeblood
That Spring's "Hello" brings.
