• I

  • splashed

  • some

  • colores

  • from

  • a tumbler



  • and

  • smeared

  • the drab

  • world

  • with

  • emotion.



  • I

  • charted

  • on a dish

  • of jelly



  • the jutting

  • cheekbones

  • of the ocean



  • Upon

  • the scales

  • of tin

  • salmon



  • I

  • read

  • the calls

  • of lips

  • yet mute



  • And you

  • could you

  • have played

  • a nocturne

  • with just

  • a drainopipe

  • for a flute?
