Indigo

Must We Separate?

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.
