Ivanka Fear
Vibrant reds, golds, purple, and orange mixed with evergreen nature's bounty spread out just for us alive and pulsing with colour Dull shades of yellow and brown mixed with green bile human waste splayed at my feet dead matter clinging to the earth Crisp and clear air a respite from the burning fire the start of something cooler the rains cleansing Damp and foggy a chill running through my very soul the end of warmth the rains drowning A promise of a wonderland in each and every facet of life embracing the winds of change jumping head first into a pile of wishes A promise of dark days ahead in each and every eerie corner of my existence shuddering as cold fingers close around my throat wishing I could jump backwards into the past
