Shameful fragments of rivalry
Frolic with edgy nerves unsteeled
In the heat of a bull run.
Beneath sumptuous indiscipline,
The horns of desire kindle folly
Inside the belly of impatience.
Watching the numbers fall
Lower and lower still,
Violets begin to sing the blues
Of hell and high waters.
And I war with the roses of the mind;
Riddling petals with poisoned pellets
Bent on sinking deeper
And deeper still,
Into the ever daunting red.
