the palette 

bleeds.


only red, 

only orange, 

gold,

the delirious artist dipping 

brush into blood,

smearing red over trees


the palette bleeds.


green mixes with red,

trails of brown splattering,

sapling 

after sapling


the palette bleeds.


his burning eyes

scorch holes in the sky,

the cold wind comes

down

down

down


the palette bleeds.


only red,

only orange,

gold,

falling leaves,

falling leaves


the palette bleeds.


the tears are here,

the tears are here

 

the palette bleeds.

I wrote this in the fall, because I absolutely loved how the trees looked in comparison to the skies:)
