Elevated colours,
shelter of evergreen and brown,
The understudy waiting
Curtain closes
hands come together thunderously,
Scarlet grin upon the wrinkled flag of white
bald head, smoky hair
Azure stars twinkling
The hugs of a grandfather
Following day:
Contoured face contorted with pain
warm, soft skin freezes
blue veins turn grey
heart stops
the curtain falls
The sail is torn
Death stands,
A mountain of black
Sheds his curse,
Clown's mask washed by the waterfall of ebony
Grandfather who brought joy the night before
Exeunt.
