So I Say Yellow You Say What
You say Yellow
And then
Expectantly await
A light repost
Of tales of Golden Sunshine
Piercing through the drudgery
But when you say Yellow
Expecting reposts of sunshine
It sadly takes me back and
reminds me that cancer turned
my father's skin and face
To a yellow not the likes or shade of
rainbow , sunflowers or gold
But rather of cancer yellow that
you won't find on any colour chart
Because decay is hard to replicate
Once the leaves of Autumn have
all but fallen and been swept up
and away
At least his ashes we're no longer
yellow
When they we're scattered
and flew away taken aboard the
backs
Of pollen Bees to process into
tiny tears of oh so sweet Honey
drops
Because he meant so much and
deserved a fitting end not the
sticky one he met
