Gone

Sapphire's in mourning.

refuses to speak

of colors consumed -

so instead costumes

in black, absorbs

color, gives in

to deep hues

of hopped gold,

swelling brown,

and organinc greens.

addictions resurface

with the addition

of pink lips to an

already crowded day.

deepset grey in reverse
refuses to let go
writes it out,
these bright muted colors
but never an honest truth.

sapphire hates to read
and so
in a haze of hopped gold,
swelling brown, and organic green
is able to ignore the underlying
cold of deepset grey's
bronze cast iron touch.
will never know, does not care
enough to know the parallels
to already hectic lives.
