Yellow
Like the walls of the chemistry lab
Like the wood of the cabinets,
The floor,
The legs of the tables
And the bricks
Of the school building, in the courtyard
Out the window
Like buttercups in the spring by sides of roads and
Like my mother’s yellow dress at the beach
Like daffodils at the supermarket
Like gold chains and figures of jesus
Like sunflowers along the road
And the flash of light off a koi’s scaly tail

Like the light in children's eyes
Like the moment of the last goodbye
Like the last thing you ever see
Like the last time you thought of me.
