colourless at 9pm
Paint me to be some derivation of exotic.
For space to live
In the blanks between my fingers
Like tooth gaps
On frowns, I am
Every color but my own.
Sparked up reds center my face but only enough to be seen
Through blushes bloomed just for you
It is what you make of me
String me up like new Christmas lights
And together we will celebrate,
Only individual moments
Too many is implicative of permanence.
But I am only stars on too tight clenched eyelids
Existing for seconds, if that
A whole array of blue and silvers,
That fuzzy pattern we can never remember.
