tried to
paint blue 
you endured
ceaseless deluge
 
and then green
you as serene
but kindle soaked
naught left for stoke
 
one as two yellow
temperance ’til split again
then came red of black
not to touch your mono business
 
liberty and pig in wait
starshoot equus
could’ve acrylic cairn 
remember yet, atavist,
do not dissolve by bee
