I am
colors
on the outside
I brush
up against my insides
rushing forward
I trace
myself
back
into life —
living
folded up
against the
world
charting a course
I am pressed
like
a
grain of sand
it’s crystal clear
I’m cut off from my own sight
imagine
I
am
neither
mix nor colors
I
find
not a hue
of
myself
only
the
spirit of
shadowleaves
