Colors Edge
I received a red letter
without a return address
which I read aloud
from light
via silver stars
that painted the stark black night
in hues of amber
coaxed from a blue milk moon
I never knew colors could cut so deep…
Like silky violet reflected in a white pill
its hard edges cutting deep my cheek
as it fights with a caramel colored drink
to stay afloat
tumbling
towards the abyss of my throat
I never knew colors could cut so deep…
Like a green onion dipped in chocolate
I’m out of place –
sipping on memories of you
I never knew colors could cut so deep...
