Little Explosions #1

(Saying something simple)

By Kevin KolankowskiPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Some days say:

There is no way that

The pinks will ever yield back

The sky to bright blues.

That the grays could

Ever share something so strong

With whatever orange

Originated

From that massive Gaseous

Floating hot palette

And yet it fades from

Layers of lavender to

pinhole yellow-whites

Bursting blues and reds

Stretching past our perception

Little explosions

far off in the space

We stop. They continue through

The night we don’t see

Until the bookends

Come again and break blacks and

Blues turn reds turn blues…

Some days say something

Simple like “Stardust make us

A million colors.”
