A Life in Colours

I am thinking of Green
It’s a Yellow Day
brushing up against
my Blues

When I was little
my favourite crayon colour
was called Green Blue

Today I have
Green Blue
slowly flowing
through my tired veins

while the Sun
shouts at me
hurting my eyes
messing with my head

So much colour

I miss my pastels

I miss softness

as I surrender
helplessly
to today
and tomorrow
