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
