My Other Color
I am red-violet moving into
Indigo
Like the last embers of a fire
smoldering
Like incense
Nag Champa, Jasmine, Cool smoke
Red-violet like the tie-dye
colors of a silk scarf
waving in the wind
Indigo like a nebula in deep
space
Red-violet moving into pink
Spring pink, shocking pink, Fuchsia
Red-violet like making love
Blood pumping, blue veins
Heated breath
Hearts rhymically drumming
Red violet like
A scented candle burning all
night
into the early dawn
