Colour Me
or. Synesthesia: why I is pink or. U is blue

or. Synesthesia: why I is pink
or. U is blue
or. Do you hear red
In screaming?
Distortion sounds like crimson
Guitars sound soaked in blood
or. Hear the red
Of lips barred by bright white
Hard bone,
or. The pink
Bri-neon synth of keyboards?
Colour me your colour, baby
I know who you are
Or. know the fire smoke orange
Of bass?
or. Do you hear blue
Brushed drums
Better than I do, more blue
Than I know,
or. Hear jazz blue? A blue
I am consoled lives beyond me
or. Is listening to the sounds of gold
Brass like the seeing sky saturated?
How do I
or. You bear it?
