Pink (A Color Poem)

Innocence, youth, Sunday dresses
Prom gown with carnation
"Don't stay out too late!"
Crimson woman

Pink flowers, a trailing bow
Making way to a man of God
Fushia love embellished in passion

Swollen flushed belly
Carrying a tiny pink form
Shouts of hot pain
Glorious crying gift

Nursery, tiny socks, small movements
Smells of infancy
Little rosy girls
Crispy white curtains, a pastel room

Pallid, needing color
Aged, artificial and shocking coral cheeks
Longing for the color of youth

2001
