yellow


Yellow takes my hand in its own shaking grasp

In reassurance that she doesn’t know why

We’re so afraid, either:

Trapped in a state of tension

And our hearts slap loudly in our chests

At the reverberance in our ears

Of its throbbing

She says that she understands

And that is a greater strength

Than I could ask for from any more solid color.
