Red & Blue

a poem

He with the colour blue
She with the colour red
They lay upon the grass
And drew

Words cannot describe
The patterns that they made
As they watched the daylight fade
And die

He took her colour red
She took his colour blue
And underneath the stars
She said

‘With your blue
And with my red
We will make
Art that’s true’

The ground was damp
Creatures of the night were stirring
He took her hand
And said

‘With your red
And with my blue
We will do
As you said’
