where are you in this lit abyss?

I see I see

the yellow echoing from orange

blue slipping from green

and purple welling deep inside its red

these colors don’t conform to you

your lineaments

bent nose

a rolling shoulderblade

a scheme that lights your eye like love

like love does

love that hides behind your eye

would break through in this shape

when you hit upon the lie

your gaze turns on me glittering
and fixes me in light
