rose is red

you hear footsteps fifteen years in a row and then they stop
shadows crawl the hallways, a lifeless not
they all keep coming while i wonder why a rose is red
they all keep coming while i wonder why light is better

you watch blue seas bury the freighter down, and then you walk
angels tall and always a whiteness caught
illegal sculpture aids, inebriation fades between, leaves we clean
monkey see, monkey do
