Rust

Sitting on the park bench

She watches the sun setting on the horizon

The sky resplendent in orange and crimson

Like a bride, till she bids adieu

And her gold and red lingers on

Somewhat sombre for the farewell

Rust and antique gold that settles like silk

Holding the darkness at bay

Like her sitting at dusk on a park bench

Preserved memories smelling of mothballs

Rusty from tangled relationships

And yet beautiful

Once vermilion, now the colour of the setting sun

….
