Morning star
blue clouds
driving bucketfuls of orchids
mauve, ivory, cinnamon-red
Molten stone
sticky
deathtrap
The oceans are all dead
salt stings
festering wounds
burned skins of plants
sickly sugar-sweet
like orchid pollen
like cinnamon.

A lot of spew here, however, there is repitition concerning the orchid pollen and cinnamon, which interests me. I have a color theme here, I feel... interesting.
