Shades of grey

Shades of grey
Are laying down their
Last minute rays
Curling up
In front of the hearth
Blackened by the family past
Fire stubbed out
Like the cigar
Tied to the corners of
His hideous smile
Full of soot
Pulsating in bursts
Between periodic snooze

Shades of grey
Shooting like bullets
Tissues decayed
Due to his age
Framing trails
Deeply into
The epithelial cells
Gutters for tears
Grooving the lips
With late autumn breeze

Reads as if parental or spousal abuse, with the abuser(hopefully) entering the winter of their life

Cannot remember what made me write this now 😄
