01:24 - Canary Again
I wore yellow again today.
Canaried myself in familiar shades.
A honey that haunted and clung to my back,
And clung to my breast, your chest it now lacks.
I fell into a dark decline.
The kind of decline only colours can find.
I wore it, then wouldn't, when you were the last
To see me canaried, then shelved to the past.
I recalled that relic today.
Refused to feel used by it's long loved decay.
Revived it, applied it, and wore it with pride,
A rarely seen creature, a sunnier hide.
