    analogies in every color
    like the sharpness of
    reflections in greyscale.
    for every mistake there's
    another needle in the veins,
    in and out coming the breath
    of another fractured spirit.
    scarlet, cyan, chartreuse, violet, black.
    remind yourself to forget her name
    when the colors come to life
    and play on the labels
    underneath your skin.
