YELLOW
BY LENSKA
You break me, Yellow.
The words we speak float around us, groundless in the air,
in the void between our lips
They are meaningless – what made them so empty?
Someone is burning a cinnamon stick - waving it above our heads while you
kiss pain into my eyes, sighing and laughing.
Cinnamon spice - smoking love spells around us but
it hurts only me, doesn’t it, yellow. I only say so, because you don’t look affected.
How far are words from the heart of life, yellow?
From what I so desperately needed them to be this time?
You hid when I needed you consecrated
Your face and your body
are so far away from any god’s lake or mountain, from where I am.
Waiting. Praying. Dying.
How you crush me, yellow - when you say you know
you are my favorite color, sighing and laughing.
Pomegranate seeds bursting and bleeding out
Is my heart in your mouth.
Yellow. Yellow. Yellow.
