Literature Text

there is a colour in my brain, I write the word colour,
I ramble through a box of crayons from years ago, I touch robin's eggs, I
see a colour and name it peace or maybe war

I drop my pen and come up with a paintbrush, I think desire and watch the
wings of a pelican change colour in the sky, disappear, flash back, think of
a day, black and white,

I read about a flower that is yellow, but I
don't want yellow, I want the sun against my skin, the colour that
an exhale makes in the summer when everyone tells me you cannot see your
breath

in the summer, there is a trembling in my yellow, there is a quickness
in my breath and you cannot paint quickness, you cannot write
yellow
We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.
