Orange

Palustral, sacral,
Shrunk and sickens,
Colours me in in places.

Sculpts consciousness
Signalling nothing
But orange.

Tragedy can be avoided.
Love is orange.
No romance in it.

Not easy being small at all.
Orange can really tell
Seven times now

Or more.
Orange is the new black.
It won't go back.

It is new. Fits like a suit.
A first full
Of tonic.

It is this or it is agent Orange.
The veterans story,
An abeyance.

Rather honesty
Is an orange friend.
Orange is me again.
