Bamboo Colors
The curtains are earth-
colors that drape over edges
of Summers, hot as
desert sands rippling
malt hues.Oil paints blended
into royalty..
of candied Autumn.
Harvesting yolk yellow moons
with cruer tints- birth.
Ocifatory
senses: tea in afternoon;
pig slop; manure.
Citrus oranges,
clasped by orchard trees, ripe.
Petals the colors
of sunsets. Horse hair,
rich browns. Cows, their vanilla
with oreo; mauve skin,
the pig. Cedar planks
that shelter, raise a family...
of cats. Rodent feats.
