tea-coloured day

hot water administered directly into a teabag-filled mug.

clear first - but then, morose gray!

curious, and off-putting.

·

the world outside is gray, as looks my immediate future.

I refuse to also ingest this nothingness!

I will only blend in with the depressing surroundings when I so desperately desire to be

coloured

with

inspiration!

·

- wait -

- ah -

a swift tug on the teabag produces an instant blossoming of

cranberry crimson throughout the luridness.

this is the deeply emotional colour I want to infuse myself with.

now I see the shots of brightness throughout my bruised world.
