Cherry Marmalade
Arden Gifford
Grey box of a chosen enclosure
sun submerged in hollowed skyline
dome of windless blues
from the heavy concrete depths
peaks jutting from the mass
divided by rows of reflexed florescence.
Last rays resurrected by the clouds
billow and dissipated are the pink eruptions
how it has become how finite
deepness of the hues I find.
One that refuses to be found
pigment found of leftover
cherry marmalade on the saucer along
the avenues I walk as someone's child.
These finite clouds in my sights
disappears with the ignition
of the water-stained cubed lights,
when I walk into the blue haze and trees
that have grown heavier each year;
the wander home.
Clouds of cherry marmalade
it glows in dust
it really was a beauty
that doesn't resist the urge
to burn your eyes with
an empty power.
I had a glimpse of cherry marmalade
the beautiful occurrence
from the brick enclosure I attest
hues that have stolen breaths
of elegance that will continue beyond us,
and provides the destruction of living.
