So Much More Than Blue

The jagged imagery of a sunset,
visceral and vegetative juxtaposed
in red red sun,
and rich green hills.
That's the origin of the most authentic misery nature ever created.
The heavens and the earth just outside each others reach.

So saccharine sweet, this symmetry
between the sanctimonious sack-cloth fathers
and the snake-oil people charmers.
They both so clearly hold their stance,
and demand that you concede your happiness to miles.

An angel held me accountable to the colour wheel,
and ever since I learned to paint with the sky.
because it's so much more than just blue.
