watercolour (short poem)

8 2 3
                                    

as you render into the pale bark,
on your way to make a stain, leave a mark
like the blood of an alcoholic
pink, not vermillion
for all that is left behind from poison tonic
slips out (visions of gideon) from a mind so idiotic

spilled drinks,
falling out in sync
are water colours
subtle, sullen
yet — the voice of the madmen shunned in


















ps: can we please pretend that i don't overuse the word "vermillion" i know.🤠
