“Colorblind Venom”

This venom is iridescent
But I wouldn’t know
That venom already took hold
Colorblind descent
Rainbow aurora in the cold
That venom has my body
And I’ll never be ready

Chromatic pathway
Ashen pain
Diluted paint lines
Grayscale psycho vision
Cross contaminate
Cross hatch, hexcast
Witchcraft!
Rainbow stratification
A mountain full of rain
Layered in sand, sparkling red
Delicate as sand, shining blood
Wash the crud from mine veins
Colorblind Venom,
You’re my chromatic rain

Lines on the rock,
Lines on the trees,
Lines in the clouds,
Lines in the sand,
Lines by the bye,
Lines, on the page,
Lies on the screen.

Hello, Guardian Machete.
Will you slice the head?
Of the slithering, insidious snake
He’s disguised family
He’s not welcome here
Colorblind Venom spit from under fangs
Didn’t miss my veins, this time

But I write away the pain
I grieve every day
Love every day
In and day out
Flush out the Colorblind Venom
Shut down my body,
And shut down my mind

Watch the spectrum fly again
As my dreams trail behind
Hoping for the day
That the venom is colorblind
Again.
