I am Yellow

by Mackenzie Lee

By Mackenzie LeePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I am the corner of a smile, sticky with honey, tasting of wasted youth and warm dreams. I am unforgettable; once I reach your tastebuds, you will forever know my flavour.

I am the glowing silhouette of afternoon clouds, large and fluffy and lined with gold. I am hidden like this, because when I show myself, you will not be able to look me in the eyes. So gaze now while you can. You cannot avert your eyes forever.

I am the finger-light touch of freedom, of euphoria, and I will bathe you in my aura so that you can feel it too.

Let me seep into your bones. I am warmest there.
