Pink

Makes you think

to consider pink.

Slime.

Blood on a tissue.

Baby blanket.

Hollyhocks.

Nauseating peeps.

Pink balloons float

against blue sky.

You’d think we could do better.

Yellow

Yellow is exuberance loosed

from green to bloom,

bucking in warmth.


Yellow is light,

bitter spice,

surprise, then delight.


Yellow is inhale or exhale,

spring or fall,

first or last.


Yellow is small sunbursts

penetrating eyelids,

I walk on life in process. 


Yellow is straining light

towards light.

I give up.


Yellow.
