red in her armpits
ankles
& bones
mountains cordoned by wire
this a
landscape claimed against natural law
erased &
wrapped in
a telephone wire to report the facts
& only the facts
drained of their color
which is
of course
red.
blue back there
blue black bare
open
wide &
blank &
spacious
somewhere there is purple
but not here
yet
here is red
dreaming of purple
bitten by blue
see the hand reaching?
she’s reaching
yes
reaching &
yes
remembering facts that dance with color
that breathe shades & hues & vibrate
sing
along
guitar string made of old telephone wire
matte black fact dipped in river water (light blue)
in honey (gold)
in screaming (deep red)
in keening (deep blue)
in loving (deep green & purple & gold & blue &)
in fighting (apple red & white)
in humor (pink & yellow)
in fellowship (pink)
