Look

This room is grey
Even with my eyes fast closed
It is too small for colour.
Yet bold, insistent
Insolently red
The Robin on my sill
Sings for breakfast
Calls me to the green and blue
The colours of my garden, 
Vibrant within my small horizon.

More LIVE writing...

Fish through ripples

Writing Underwater

Scrolls on a rack

Clicked-away identities

Cracks in white wall

The moment I forgot about the pandemic

Library books on a curved shelf

Looking for a smile
