Swirls of color held tight
the eyes bind them with lids
Define them in that place
pinned between darkness and sight;
less than they were
though valued more,
if only at the light’s expense.
But, everything in the open is nonsense.

Colors
Blue is the place beyond our reach
blue is the speech made to subdue
red words they preach of violence to renew our fear
the dawn is near
Yellow slices through the night sky
yellow the dye the river pulls
Green now from cries of full hearts grieving in the stream
to wake from not a dream
Orange is what they left to us
orange the rust that aches for end
purple the lust that will bend truth around morning
a fair warning
