Springing
the colors i feel on days like these
prove i should be alive.
the air is purple around me,
green static and yellows flash -
it is all real, hovering beyond
the point where you can see.
but in my cartoon world
the colors are brighter than
you ever made with a box of crayons -
my reds are filled in
with brushes.
i don’t expect you to understand,
and, anyway, if you did you
could steal my secret.
it is enough for you to know
i enjoy the colors of every day
enough for all of us -
just in case someone misses
the way the blue sky feels
upon their skin.
i spread the sunshine on
to anyone who will have it
so we can carry
on the color -
the world deserves to know.
