<h1>Red and Purple and Amber and Black</h1>
|
|
<hr />

<hr />
|
|
<p>
|
|
The winch creaks<br />
|
|
Bore more weight than we thought<br />
|
|
Day in<br />
|
|
Day out<br />
|
|
We lift bodies from barges and rivers and reeds
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Comrades find comrades</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ache<br />
|
|
My arms pull, grapple and pull<br />
|
|
More corpses<br />
|
|
More remains
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Violet Rot"<br />
|
|
If their lungs haven't burst they'll overflow with Rot<br />
|
|
The water runs red and purple<br />
|
|
Red and purple and amber and black
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before we go home the preacher man will spray us down<br />
|
|
"Hands to your face!" He shrieks<br />
|
|
My face stays buried in my hands<br />
|
|
I do not break the shield<br />
|
|
Not until I reach home<br />
|
|
Down my streets I will walk blind<br />
|
|
Not until my feet reach my door
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then I make it: to my love<br />
|
|
They wait for me in the dark<br />
|
|
They do not look at my Rot<br />
|
|
The purple on my knuckles<br />
|
|
The purple in my eyes<br />
|
|
"No, you will not leave me here."
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>So we lay</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I brace myself to them<br />
|
|
I pray not to hurt them, gripping so close<br />
|
|
My eyes wide in a purple haze<br />
|
|
  In the dark
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We lay for days</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
And when we stand up<br />
|
|
  No longer ourselves<br />
|
|
We stumble to the river
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Still holding each other<br />
|
|
   Hand in hand
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Drawn to the water<br />
|
|
Red and purple and amber and black
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We sink in its cold</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
And then we perish<br />
|
|
And then we Rot
|
