We were only ever colors
Turquoise
Yellow
Crimson
Gazing up while fading gray
We say the stars are suns
Our eyes and ears dissolve
We say their light is old
Our hands disintegrate
We momentarily live fully
In the restless pressing
Of our unseen hips on uneven land
Then sleep to wake
And assume the crisp shapes
Of saturated dreams
