The Color We All Are

Colors lying all across the ground

yellow, orange, red, and brown

but I thought only of red

seeing this, after the trees had shed

because it’s the only human one

flowing through us until we’re done

It’s not what shows up on our skin

unless another, unkindly, breaks in

tearing us apart; instead of twirling

together, dancing and swirling

like the sweet, falling leaves

on the morning’s autumn breeze

Chameleonic Heart

Shades of red , degrees of blue

they come in many colors

There’s even a purple one

that combines attributes

of both the red and blue

 I think a bright yellow

version might be nice

for a change
