Shadowed greens

blemish happy days

As sunlight sheds its tears

 in lonely dark rains

Towering demons surround and attack

The void of blue with their cloaks of black

Swirling obelisks with wide smoky backs

Flickering in the wind with cellophane smacks

The grumbling cotton clouds retreat

From gales of wind and hail which defeat

With quick icy breaths

And clamorous feet

Tumbling down many a deserted street

Tendrils of frigid ozone tearing concrete

Strays of white wisps water and wait

For their turn to coalesce with a sky of Hate

Cornflower blue bruises to navy

As bands of droplets burst desperate and crazy

Tear after tear the broken canvass relieves

Its bridled emotions through a transient sieve

Pain and acid now burn the jewel

O’er the swimming sapphire the rain does rule!

With its rigor mortis teeth and its roaring spool

Of frothing gray fabric, choking and cruel.
