Colours

In the winter rain
 I held your Melting body 
The paint leaving you 
Escaping me
The blue brown yellow
 from your skin
 the ivory from your bones
 they slip through my fingers
Where you soul was
 there remained 
a soaked canvas 
battered and twisted
 in my hands
With all the dust of the world
 you were washed away
