brush bristles stroke across canvas
pricking paper which bleeds sapphire
and liquid copper drips downwards
until the two melt into an embrace

able to survive without the other
but thrive when they intertwine
with an explosion of pigments
in an act of nuclear fission

emitting microparticles which
stain your astonished eyes so that
colour floods into everything
your gaze lands upon.
