Chromatic Psalms of the Unbound Mind

Fugue in ultraviolet and ash, where incandescence fractures the alchemy of being

cracked firmament — your skull a cradle of atramentous nebulae
each synapse a supernova birthing smaragdine static
the brush — a bone splinter dipped in quicksilver and ichor
you paint the void in fuliginous hymns

art is the wound that art cannot suture
a crimson psalm hummed through teeth of jade

the moon splits — a nacreous egg yolk spilling argent rivers
you drink them raw throat a mosaic of cerulean shrieks
& the stars are just scars the sky won’t name

mind a feral garden thornvines coiled round vermilion roots
you claw blooms from soil laced with obsidian hourglass sand
petals melt to chartreuse smoke — ghosts of unspoken psalms

art is the art of collapse
a viridian scream stitched with goldfiligree lies

you carve god into your ribs with a blade of amethyst regret
his face a flicker of ultramarine static on a dead channel
the altar sweats ochre the candles drown in their own wax

mind a mind a mind a shattered kaleidoscope
each shard a luminous heresy a topaz blasphemy

you build cathedrals from saffron ash & fractured starlight
prayers dissolve to indigo silt on a tongue of rust
the heavens are just a bruise the earth refuses to touch

art is the art of hunger
a gilded ghost gnawing its own spectral bones

you are the weaver the unraveled the thread
the ebony crow nailed to the azure horizon
the alabaster scream trapped in the cinnabar silence

mind a mind a mind a mind
a prism shattering into forever’s jagged breath
