grey carpet, yellow wall,
brown table, yellow wall,
blue seat, yellow wall,
and a **** coloured stain on the ceiling.
_______________________
shoulders pressed inward,
hands between thighs,
hair hanging in front of
detestable grey eyes.
but details matter,
red hands must smear
a crude-drawn picture,
on strips of brown-clear.
blinding and white
burning the table,
ten pages in all,
a statement from Abel.
attempt to explain,
better yet confess,
inky black clips,
secret, sudden cess.
bottle green, cautioning;
two lives lost
to action unseen.
golden is youth,
yet blue is the feeling,
all colour gone, body reeling.
