lift me up
Set atop
her brother’s shoulders
she puts the prism
just right
and in a nick of time;
the sun streams in
brilliant spectral colors
light up the room;
rainbow faces
cast aglow
in bliss.

Circles,
one placed with in the other
again;
the center of a box
curving into itself
while turning on an axle;
adjacent wheels
that turn in opposite directions –
mutually assured self-cataclysm;
the fallout of colors,
cobalt blue
and pink grapefruit,
mandarin,
red on black.

colors
Dreams
in shades of green
that melt
and coalesce
into purple bloches
from which sparkles of red
ignite into orange flames
that consume the whole
leaving a yellow flatness
that gradually fades
into a cool blue.

colors
Instantaneous searing light
Instantaneous searing light
a blast of hot air
knocking you down
and out of the shade
into a rainbow world
where each color
has a distinct tone
and a multicolored melody plays
gently calling you
outside of yourself
and into
a larger world.

The inside of Her
is a layer peeling off
more and more layers
less like an onion
more like a croissant
each layer, old paint
a flake here
and a fleck there
crumbles and crumbs
overcooked
beneath each coat of paint
yet one more
and the deeper you dig
the more you find
until you’re sure
it’s colors
all the way down
or at least
as far as
you dare look.
