Lifeless Empathy

crimson blades lay lifeless
  trembling-
            
              drowning-

savored by the gold leaflets
that long for daybreak.

fire-orange blades rage-
    detonating-

              rupturing-

savored by the chartreuse leaflets
that thirst for rain.

Hues of combustion remain still-
twilight ascends and alleviates
with empathy...
