Analysis of Silver and Burgundy
Silver like a medallion
But this isn’t a prize
Burgundy roses fall
Falling falling falling
Delicate ice breaks easily
Lights sounds people
Rose thorns out of place
You are out of place
Falling falling falling
Black soot hiding reality
It’s not ready
It won’t desist
Silver makes it
Is it a problem?
An addiction
To burgundy
Flooding valleys under a red sunset
It looks almost memorising
Not to them though
Not to them
