Red, White, and Blue
Red petals attract
Every eye and head turned to
Gardens of Surprise
Columns supporting
White ceilings looming so high
Cracking over time
Blue vapors seeping
Low notes soaring to the depths
Sung by compromised ladies
Red pilgrimage made
Engraved names lovingly touched
Thoughts sliding backwards
Humid white clouds cry
Tearful chants for the dying
Over white-washed walls
Blue flames flickering
Gasping for the air to breathe
Time will not heal wounds
Red bleeding fountains
Spurting out toward the sky
Evaporating
Searching for release
