Well I have read this several times, I know all the words expect "rooves" which I think is maybe an archaic use of "roofs"? I've heard people use the term but I have never seen it written. I suspect it's in the unabridged OED but no where else. Unfortunately I no longer have access to one so I can only guess. "dabblers in shock" I would normally take as being someone like Miley Cyrus, but you insert the hasty before it, so that makes me think of the 24 hour news media. The magic used by the media "bleeds through flowers, rain and stone." Poisons in some way maybe? Although I can parse out the first stanza, I'm not at all sure what the first two lines have to do with the next two lines. The second stanza I get nothing, I don't know who the dark face is, but it seems we are in a different metaphor than the first stanza. I understand what the words say, I just have no clue as to what they are suppose to be referencing. Maybe you can explain it to me, just a hasty dabble will do.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
