upbeat

you write sheet music
looking up, with nimbus fades,
drop beats, zephyr slides

it's the kind of thing
that would have all people sing
if they'd harmonize

easy colors

act like it's easy
to strut across any road
and your map unfolds

***

pull out the colors
even if they stubbornly
planned to stay inside

make waves

it took time to warm
the lines stretching here to there;
now we can make waves

***

find your comfort shell
then lose it for the wind and
persimmon seafoam
