White Knuckles
Blue sighs,
purple heart beating pain
Scarlet letters
written on rice paper grain
Black clouds
portend colonial violent reign
Silver pocket lining —
Ivory Coast watch has a gold chain
Indigo weep journey,
stern waves of Coral Reef grief from green gain
Obsidian gale passage,
white knuckle fear mete with alabaster disdain
Steel blue sky,
pale joy in the skin cargo lane
Bronze native hope
shipped to brass harbor strange
Black enfolding clouds,
infrared serene thoughts ponder forgiveness arcane
Sunshine free promises
darkly veil a fetter capital idea, so auctioneer insane
Eclipse horizon,
opaque firmament change
Pink eyes can’t see the snowstorm coming,
leaving frozen asset remains
Blue wail sky
dew drop more violet moan rain
Crimson siren tide
left a white knuckle asphalt stain
Black brow clouds
are thunderbolt cry parting: “Die latter-day Cain!”
Ruddy cloven tongues
are white lightning uttering: “Abel shall live again!”
Rainbow balm sky
after the purple bruise reign
Grey matter turbulent tide
is now a peaceful cerulean haven
