A Study in Orange and Black


A study in Orange and Black

Chaos

Fire and steel molten
red malevolence poured
from vessel to vessel,
Chaos.

A river of steel flowing growing
smaller, pounded, beaten, flattened,
drenched, cooled,
Chaos.

A whistle blaring, a train’s
coming laden with ore splattering
its contents down the side,
Chaos.

Sparks fly like static electricity
dancing in the air, sizzling
aimlessly, alight near a flowerless plant
growing in the orange rust colored ground,
Chaos.

On that same plant, a butterfly
A spectacle beholding,
a Monarch, or maybe…

Chaos?
