Red broken irises
circle a greater abyss
and orange is the tinted skin
of those punished for their sin
yellow be the last sips
of alcohol kissing the lips
green promises to grab the heart
and let other people tear it apart
and blue pulsing veins
to bloody cars are lanes
and purple blots the faces
of the lesser races
pink stains the wrists
where once there had been slits
red broken irises
leak to other places
