The Stain of Woe
A Slow Motion Rainbow
Published in

waterfalling colors
dripping, pooling
a slow motion rainbow
plopping to the floor
splattering walls
creeping
like Salvador’s timepieces
minute and hour hands
frozen in time
pigments muddled
yellow, brown, and red
creating an ugly hue
of stickiness
a meandering fusion
readily embraced
by the outstretched arms
of long green shag
woe is me
woe. is. fucking. me.
I’ll never get these stains out
