coloring

if we were

alive enough

we could do more than see colors

we could feel them in our red beating hearts

in the dark blue aches in our bones

we would know how it felt to be real

again

if we were

strong enough

we could open our mouths and pour out the words of nations

feel the orange urge to speak our minds

and we didn't fight it

as it

filled us

if we were

alone enough

we would be purple in our misery. light purple

fizz that exploded out of our pores

and became something new

so we wouldn't feel so alone

this is something new

it's enough
