Rouge

Rouge

Once upon a time we where fiery killers

Who danced in the light of the blood red moon

We who swiped and sawed so effortlessly

On wing of silver and blue

Of icy blue and forest green

Of sycamore, almond and brown

But none was more feared and hated than rouge

Now I am the last of the proud noble race of rouge

I coil round my unhatched eggs

I look to the sky of gold and silver

And ask who shall remember rouge?
