All is Violent

Violence; the smoky air has

become a white tornado.

The violin of nature releases

a chord of dark romance.

The other side is there-

from what I can see-

she just wants to be free.

 

A sparrow jumps to and fro

between city skylines and

colours in black.

She is talking smooth-

an impression in a sunrise.

Onward, onward-a floral circus.

I cannot work this.

 

Speeding drops of rain become

the final goodbye of summer.

She is building a bridge of chimes

to aid her in her deafness.

Teacups fill with sunshine

and a stranger dressed in silk

is made of honeycombs of milk.

 

The crystal has broken up

into thousands of tiny stars

Hopeless nostalgia fills the sky

and ivory skin is revealed.

She is on a crash course of

late night manipulation.

She has witnessed salvation.
