The leaves are soaked by the sun.
We are open.
I forgot what words tasted like.
What are rainbows?
Are they our imagination
Are the colors our lives?
If they are our lives,
Then I must be indigo.
I thought back to childhood.
Couldn’t remember what colors ever made a difference.
Red was too deep of a passion,
Green too dedicated to greed,
And if any other color matched these feelings,
The feeling of the median,
A division of harmony and lust.
Never exactly blue or purple.
In between my madness and love,
Must Indigo be my battlefield
Or demise.
