Prompt: color, use it as the title


Gunmetal Grey

Where was the first place I saw it?
It was blue and they called it grey
War of the states all over again

In a hog leg hanging on my hip

A watercolor paint set

Flashed at Warsaw Wally's
Just after midnight on a payday

It was molten and seductive
Reflective and cold

The color of a lanyard string
Woven with white to make a spiral

Gunmetal grey on a firing range
In the Phoenix heat at
Your memorial

Thank you for reaching out on a color and drawing me in to read about it.
