Vermillion

In the embers of passage across 
strangled water , two by three by 
seven equals, Nothing but our 
imagination & an illusion of Pretence.
	To give up forth hence so sweet 
in memory , So Bland at present.

	I'll take a stab at a month , striving 
to be free of all , Yet, craving 
the Constant Equation , A padded word cage
& Pitch of Supernova 
	held softly. Waiting for something 
the Artist brushed a cloudburst to the side,
satin canvas cracking as the iron wire scratched
in His New Picture. Until the Moment is up & 
wretched
comes the sun.
