Sirens Averse To Melancholy
The lens filter is blue
A royal cobalt in sharp contrast with the greys and white
Train tracks sprawling parallel from the nadir
To behind the guests spotlighted
Moving forward to the roving celluloid
Two, female, their eyes corroded as metallic veins of ore skirt past the strata
Sirens averse to melancholy
Optimistic in their hunger
Soon teeth will be bared
About this poem
Originally published on DeviantArt. The pair described are actually my friends Laura and Amber. The train tracks are just before the bridge crossing Cibolo creek, the Schertz side. Though it seems I may be the director or camera operator here, I am not.
