Burnt Umber

A Boy With Roses

I watched the lemon for seven minutes                                                                    

the shadow growing darker, me growing bitter                                                            

hoping for one glimpse of the sun                                                                                    

the ghosts of this damp room haunt me like no other                                                            

mumbling voices I can't make out                                                                        

smoke clouds burrowed into the tongue, twisting                                                              

days are longing and you walk through the streets of San Francisco                                             

calling out for Love, calling out for Love.
