The Colors of a Nation

Red is the sound

I hear,

Leaking from the pipes,

Like grapes full, ripe

In the pastels,

Hanging on

Twisted walls

And shadowed halls

Behind eroded eyes.

Blue is the place

I feel,

Seeping through wires

Like fear, dire

With the prospects

Of tomorrow’s

Gold,

Old

That never dies.
