Quadrille | Hannah Foster
Violet fire is burning
‘Neath a periwinkle sky
The purple planets’ turning
Spins my consciousness awry—
Every tendon, every figment
Flushes mauve—the body breaks,
Crumbles in the deathly pigment,
River-ruined, being spurned,
Out of purple heaven hurled
In the ashes of the world.
Hannah Foster is a young adult fiction writer and chronic daydreamer. Once upon a time she fell in love with art and stories and never looked back. She loves tea, anime, and corgis, and will probably never grow up. https://eluminoracreations.wordpress.com/
