Exhaustion

This Time    Poison Air

            has scarred the GREEN Walk

                                   Drab BLUE Skies

      painted by         GREY Promises

                   We made           For the earth

Rich Soil BROWN                  is Dead BLACK                  exhausted with ruin

          PINK CORAL                      blushes in poor health

     like a decayed tooth crumbling Bone WHITE

                     Pasty liquidated MOSS GREEN Sea of Life

             splayed permanence.....................

                    no sun to revive the sparkle of GOLDEN Light
