weightless and alone in a darkened room i close my eyes to realize the colors painting the corridors of my consciousness dandelion and clementine climb up the doorway dragging daylight along with them as i sit within my own silence it’s almost like a life sentence, the time spent in self enforced solitude every breath choked back by stuttered sobs every movement interrupted by wiping of waterworks every second stalled by feigned forevers but there’s sage and emerald breaching the back wall just barely breaking into my eye-line green glimpses into greater times grabbing my attention mid-thought it’s moments like these i forget color theory as if i haven’t stared at a color wheel until it spun green grows grey orange goes away and night turns to day like clockwork eternally moving counterwise
