The Cathode Commission

She comes in spades

They whittle roses in the shape

Of her face

Photographic flowers

A picture of trees



Origami sunset

Ripples on the dead leaves

The dead ones

They're fallen and brittle



She comes in spades

Her footfalls falling as I knew they would

Ah, doesn't matter

My skull is a womb of petrified flesh



Does it shatter

When her foot falls?

Flashing a shutter

And strips a dimension



The fragile reception

The cardboard comrades guard the gate

Crimson, Veridian, Indigo

Crimson, Veridian, Indigo
