A Dark Rerun

he painted red      white
but blue caused anxiety

blue brought out
the dark mood

his paint brush
avoided it when possible

it caused recollection      
of her/
of grief and pain

_

    
the tree's still there
with leaves of memory

the rope hung limp
and quiet
before being removed

 
it held      death

_

he was the youth
that caused her worry

that day
she wore blue

she went mental


now       so is he

the apple doesn't fall far
from the tree
