Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 85. Tinted Skyscrapers
You held me
in a purple embrace
while sparkling silver seconds ticked by,
each made valuable by the warmth they purchased,
a sure shelter from blue-green terrors
and technicolor storms
on the screen.
Brown and grey
are durable colors,
plodding quietly through the seasons,
underappreciated, yet content to build
forests where yellow, red and orange
can tarantell and play
for an hour.
The north wind
carries white on its back,
a great load hanging low and sober,
too heavy a burden for its ice-blue shoulders,
so that some small smattering slips through,
writing bare branch outlines
of winter.
Thank you for reading these skyscrapers. Scorn or smile, I'd love to know what you think.
