Spectrum

From this forge
a fraud elemental
rent from flames
unripe and unsteady
it adorned
with muted palette
a spectrum restrained
and blurred
Swaddled in embroidery
so dear
diverting critical
gaze
wrought now
but take to it
with hammer
chisel hatchet
and blade
Recast this iron
work without remorse
fashion a new frame
do not sleep
burn scars are medals
in this solitary race
