Perhaps, after all, it's nothing but a ruptured artifice;
A misconstrued prism formed of fractured isms.
It could as well, of-course, be nothing more than art at ease,
A pseudo-lust conceived with nihilism.

As the birds sing, outside there are certain things
I think I rather not think about for now.
As the birdsong strings loose harmony to discord,
fretting the golden, beamlike strings with green,

Lost, it seems, inside insistent thoughts;
time spiraling, twirling up and down the room as she hums
monotonous, muffled, tunes to herself.

You said it left you happy-sad,
the words resounding vaguely;
Yet, not for green vistas glad
with the touch of the sun, red
