Monochrome

Retrograded renegade

Bluntly severed runaway

Recomposing rogue of ruin

Rotting in the righteous rain

After the leaves and acorns

Yet before the frost and snow

They say it's only confusion

Artwork by Vincent Van Gogh

Through the blurs of unsettled motion

Vaguely with cloud covered eyes I see

A struggle to remember whatever happened

Interrupted by foreign memories

Not something from which you recover

Not something the curers can find

A plague without satisfaction

This is no cure for the colorless mind
