Chromesthesia




Red is not of anger
But a sound to abide
While you feel the labour pain
Of the woman on the fifth floor

Near the summer-dry creek
Yellow is for squirrel bark
When high noon is all sun
All flame, without the sound
Of any shade

A broken violin in the trash bin
And the road is again all green
Each cord curled as alphabet
And a lunar calendar of days

There are shoes near the pool
Which have walked the dusty trails
Where elegance lost its colour
To a spectrum
In melody
