I see
red
when I stop thinking
Stop waking teeming bursting
Red is livid, rupturing, filling me
up
with a scalding
peal that doesn’t
stop.
I taste
green
when I stop caring
Stop giving having wanting
Green is ugly, hankering, filling me
up
with a roiling
growl that doesn’t
stop.
I feel
blue
when I stop knowing
Stop falling sinking drowning
Blue is still, unnerving, filling me
up
with a lulling
hum that doesn’t
stop.
I hear
white
when I stop listening
Stop seeing tasting feeling
White is kind, blanketing, filling me
up
with a piercing
shrill that doesn’t
stop.
