She was shaded in fragments of yellows and blues.
Found lost in a window of heavenly stains,
Stashed away in an unknown frontier,
Considering intently with a hum of nerve connections and synapses alike.
All encapsulated in a hue of red and purple.
Strangled with plaid blazers and neoprene suits,
Trapped by a velleity,
Expected at the intersection of simple words.
She is the exclusion,
the exception,
the perception,
the frenzy.
She is the malachite,
the vermilion
the amaranth,
the celadon.
Comparable to petrichor.
Her being is nearly liquid.
I digress.
He knew it would not last.
You left me behind in a film still foreign.
I cannot yet tell where the rain is coming from.
All one can do is wait.
To reflect, that’s all that really mattered.
And we’re awake again.
She was the adventure they did not recognize.
Learning disguised in scorched tongues.
She had scrawled the passwords to real living on the backhand,
While they expected to forget and move on.
