Deadwood
Tryin’ to sort out the muck in my brain. I got too much to do, too little help, too little time. My brother tells me to tear down the half dead tree. He yells and yells, but I got other things to do. Keeping up with your half dead mother who is waiting for the pear tree to die before she does, just says softly and painfully something I cannot possibly say out loud. We tried to make our fortune going to California but we ain’t found nothing but dried up land and half dead things.

Green
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Red had been having trouble sleeping. This was a problem as she felt that her habit of going on the roof at midnight to see the night sky—to see that there was something floating in the air that seemed oddly familiar to the Northern lights, soothed her as closely as it unnerved her. She tried to have poetic thoughts of the strange feeling that the dark purple clouds dancing gave her, to no avail. She felt something was coming, as sobering as it was.
