Can You See Us Together in the Light?
We are in the yellow, love,
a couple of nudes in fluffy sweaters.
Sometimes, we are pale green, submissive,
a Stanley thermos with its movable handle.
We step through pines, apprehensive,
two pale dermides of serrano pepper.
As we attempt the sky, a poisonous surprise,
dart frog bellies above blue wheat.
For a time, while in indigo, we grasp grief,
our hands full of elderberry mist.
Swear to all you believe, our escape from violet, contempt,
half a dozen sweet seizures of macaroons.
Please explain us encased in red, aggressive,
a magical army of falling Circassian seeds.
When we arrive at rest so deep in the orange, keep interest,
depend upon a final sunstone pair of eyes growing in fox fur.

a feast of word sounds
3rd stanza-“pale” should be “spongey”- the dermides are spongey. I missed the editing window. 🙃
I feel like I’m inside a painting with this one – well done!
for a time, while in indigo!!
feels like rolling around in bed
between waking up and extra sleep.
Love how you used colors in this one.

lovers…companions…a hazard world…wild animal…deep in orange
Wonderful use of colors to “paint” this story!
