You gaze at me,
I gaze out the window
as
we both touch the same wallpaper,
peeling,
but the patterns stain fingers
in different colours –
my green is your no
and your blue is the new red.
Mix it up.
Shake it,
but the results are always the same –
dirty brown.
Like an out of date rainbow.

Wow, I love this!
They’re putting Use By dates on rainbows now?? 😉
Would you believe it! But yes, ha ha.
Hey! I just realized the header to your page says “The owls are not what they seem” Twin Peaks, absolutely loved that show!
Perhaps a more vibrant rainbow sits in window frame you are gazing out of?
Like the greener grass on the other side? 😉 maybe 😉
Wow…beautiful
I like this color details.
But, I´m a painter — I love everything that involves color!
I know!!!!! I think painters really see words in a different way 🙂
You bet!
You capture the feeling beautifully.
Belated thank you for a kind comment 🙂
