The Color of Sky under Lightning
the color of sky under lightning and the scent of air under fog and the sound of leaves under foot and the taste of secrets under oath and the feel of spider silk under your hand, the color of blood under skin and the scent of shampoo under perfume, and the sound of promises made under breath, the taste of secrets under oath and the feel of a watch under your coat, the color of blue under stone washing, the scent of humus under dry leaves, the sound of cotton underneath and the taste of a cuff chewed under stress and the feel of sweat under your arms as you lie to me in the forest, the scent of deception in the air, the sound of the falsehood in your voice, the taste of ashes in your mouth as you feel me walk away from your embrace.
