i straddle
rainbows
one foot
firmly planted
on an
elusive dream
the other slipping
on a rock covered
with forgetfulness
a palate
of roygbiv
masks
my face
and covers
addled hands
both
bear
witness
to tomorrows
green pastures
and yesterdays
blue hues
thankfully
all the colors
of my endless
rainbows
slip
through fingers
that always fail to
remember my
inability to
perceive
