When Clouds Are Puking Rainbows

By hate_doll

It was malicious
calculated
her mind turned it over and over
until it tired her logic
half-dazed
it was put to the shelf
with the tattered books
and burnt-out rainbows

Get out

This bed is a morgue
it reeks of self-fulfillment
extinguished by wasted
breaths
Sleep becomes
a heart-attack

The streets need
more footprints
they keep getting trampled
by the rain

Each excuse
Every half star smile
She’s dropping them
Like daisy chains
They sift
Through the sidewalk cracks

A premature
death sentence
was not
expected

But his eyes were
A guillotine
And she
Marie Antoinette

Excellent write. The closing two stanzas in particular are fantastic: so subtly & sharply expressed; just perfectly delivered. Loved it as it bit me.
