"Sanitized"

white bricks built on white foundation
and white landscape envelops,
swallows with gargantuan throat
emptiness only marred by pools
of crimson, the blood from knuckles
raw from scrubbing the Earth
& bricks & foundations & landscapes
with bleach

------

No color
No passion
No flavor
No heat
No tears
No soul
Sanitized
