Streaks of red splashed Against a blue canvas A chromatic ensemble Embellished with gold A pixelated foreboding Held with tremors Cadenced by smoke Conveyed through mirrors An adventure in antecedence Aligning under the stars Uncharted waters to explore A verbal contract to assent Elegance wrapped in rouge Strutting through the sand Fixated on the horizon An aide in anticipation While the red bleeds While the water recedes A chainsaw waits to cut Through a sky of walls
