Crimson
Those who seem to have mastered
 a certain hardy skepticism
 that can register earthquakes
 ten thousand miles away;
 
 They live among broken fragments-
 an unquiet darkness full of
 screaming secrets.
 
 Yet they have been heard,
 but chosen to be ignored.
 
 What foul dust floats in the 
 wake of their dreams?
 A broken series of failing
 gestures.
 
 What extensiveness?
 Falling just short of all hope.
 
 Inside, they bloom with crimson
 light; faces sad but lovely;
 once with bright things in them.
 
 Dulled.
 
 How gorgeous?
 A shame.
