BROWN

dark chocolate
spicy cinnamon
my eyes fixed on you

SHADOW

Black and silent
Always by my side
Happy or sad
You always knew what to do
You knew when to be there
when to keep me company
when to leave me alone
when to push me softly with your tiny head
when to meow me out of bed
when to be the reason for me to get up from bed if just to feed you
when to play snatching my pen to give me a rest from work

You are no longer here
and maybe you are
maybe you will be forever near
closer to my heart.

SNAKE

sliding wispering wishes silently, solemnly since sixty-six seconds sufficiently close I listen.

LILAC

the jacaranda trumpets announcing the coming of Spring.

GREEN

Psychotic and empathic nature
tea
windowplants
headwall
your migrainy face
jealousness

PINK

Friday sweaters
lip gloss
the piggys of a lost collection
my camera
your finger tips

BLACK

Times New Roman on the laptop screen
64 X 25 on a typed page
punctuation marks
the ink I prefer in my medium ballpoint pens

the dress you dream of taking me off
the high heels that combine
my long, luscious hair,
my deep set eyes,
my batty eyelashes,
my arched eyebrows: my glance
